Mark and Catherine was very nice and welcoming. I was scheduled to be in Long Beach on a two day training class out near the Airport area and decided to stay out there to avoid morning rush hour traffic. Turns out to work out perfect as I was able to avoid all traffic and enjoy the local amenities Long Beach had to offer. It was absolutely GREAT!!! Mark and Catherine's home was absolutely amazing and comfortable and made me feel like I was at home. The home offered me the comfort that I was looking for... "home away from home". I highly recommend staying with them as they are amazing people who definitely knows how to make someone feel welcome and of course I will definitely stay there again in the future!
