Staying at Ray's place was a blast. Super nice guy who helped us check in and gave us a tour of the place. The place is literally a block away from the beach which is a huge plus cuz parking sucks in Long Beach. It was nice to only have to take a small walk to the beach, downtown, Vons, and of course the many yummy restaurants around the neighborhood. The actual place was super clean and upscale. Alot of Ray's stuff hanging around because he does live here when it's not being used as an Airbnb but it didn't bother us at all and gave us a home vibe which was nice. Garage is really tight but better than parking on the street definitely. I would come back in a heart beat
