Priceless Love, Sweetness, and Thoughtfulness. I feel so blessed to have found this space because of the kindness, thoughtful and heartfelt welcome and home with Chris and Bev. They welcomed me with open arms like family and friends would upon first stepping foot in the home. This is a connection and friendship that will last beyond my stay. Anyone can provide a space, but only Chris and Bev can provide their love and hospitality in such a special and loving way!
Things I appreciated:
- although a last min reservation, Bev went out of her way to get customized snacks just for me!!! Wow thank you for the above and beyond.
- they provided breakfast each morning (so sweet!!)
- comfortable bed and sheets
- desk in the room for writing
- big mirrors for dressing and make up
- lots of shops and restaurants in the area (big stores and different cuisine for all people in including Asian)
- parking space
- clean room and living space (home is very organized!!)
- private and spacious bathroom, lots of dove bar soap (my fave!!)
- close drive to explore long beach and other surrounding areas (about 15-20 min no traffic)
- drive to LA daytime for Venice area was about 30-35 min no traffic, late night driving back to host wasn't too long from Venice area (25-30 min)
- amazing to talk to! Very open minded and intelligence and caring!! Took the time to talk to me and genuinely interested in me as a person and respected my quiet time and privacy when I needed it. Much appreciated.
Pro Tip for other travelers:
- if you are a light sleeper, ear plugs might be helpful as for neighborhood morning sounds are active (neighborhood dogs, garbage trucks, etc)
Overall, I feel so much gratitude and love for them and their home. I have many friends in LA who invite me to stay with them and while I do, I also mix it up w Airbnb to have some quiet time and I got exactly what I needed at this home. I only wish I could have stayed longer and spent more time with the hosts. I would suggest it and I hope to stay again!
