I stayed in Vlad's place for one night for a quick trip to Long Beach. The host was very fast to respond and check-in was easy. The place was very clean and smelled good. Very roomy inside as well. Location is great. 5 minute walk to the beach, 3 minute walk to restaurants and bars (but not noisy around), 15 minute walk to Pine street (more restaurants), and 15 minute walk to Pike area (restaurants, shops, marina, beach cruises, aquarium, etc.). Great place! Would stay here again :) Recommended!
