There is a quiet cat. Paying $5 to reserve a parking spot on the property is very worth considering; parking elsewhere in downtown Long Beach in the evening is horrendous. The home is very well crafted and maintained. There's fruit, oatmeal, and tea. My king bedroom was upscale boutique hotel quality. The beautiful antique wood bed frame makes noise if you move around in it. There's one shower to share with other guests, but my room had its own water closet with toilet and sink. This is a great place to stay if you appreciate historic architecture, particularly Victorian-Craftsman period design, and want a quiet night in the heart of Long Beach close to the water and downtown. I enjoyed my experience.
