We had a fantastic time staying with Nelson and visiting Long Beach. He is a wonderful host and was completely attentive to our needs without ever being intrusive. The location is perfect to get to shopping, restaurants, sightseeing, etc.
When we arrived Nelson was there to greet us and walk us through the flat (even allowing for an early check-in), explaining all the great features available. He had graciously provided a plate of homemade chocolate chip cookies and had a pound of Starbucks coffee for our first morning and the kitchen was stocked with all of the appliances and gadgets you would ever need. He also had discount cards for several local grocery stores which he shared.
The flat is very clean, quiet, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. The deck is fantastic and we spent numerous hours on it enjoying the amazing landscaping and tropical paradise Nelson has built. He has 3 bikes he let us use and there are many bike paths within blocks of the home. We did not rent a car and walked or biked almost everywhere. Public transportation is also only 1 block away and very easy for newcomers to navigate.
I highly recommend staying here. There were many small touches that I have not mentioned as well that made our stay very enjoyable.
Thank you Nelson!
