Location, location, location! Being directly across the street from the water was incredible! We had a beautiful view and we went on long beach walks. We were also within walking distance of 2nd street and all of the cute coffee shops and restaurants located there. Best of all, Susan allowed me to bring my little dog along, and we had a comfortable back yard where he could explore off-leash. Being only 30 minutes from LA was an added plus and we easily explored Venice Beach, Santa Monica Pier and the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and we we’re back for dinner in Long Beach by evening.
