Mark & Catherine are such nice and great people. I was very hesitant to book the room as it was my first time staying in that type of situation. But Catherine greeted me at the door on my first night there and made me feel welcomed. She even gave me a ticket to the aquarium. It was my first time in Long Beach and I never felt so welcomed. The house is gorgeous, the room is comfy and the neighborhood is peaceful. I loved my stay there and enjoyed Long Beach.
