My fiance and I came here from Philly for a 6-week stay, with our small dog. The location is amazing: a stone's throw from the beach and very walkable to the many great food and drink spots of downtown Long Beach (a number of places within just a few blocks). Our favorites included Long Beach Taco Co, Naree Thai, Sushi Mafia, and Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles (so good!). There's also a Vons grocery/pharmacy just two blocks away.
The unit is in a nice, well-maintained building with a pool, hot tub, and good-sized gym with a variety of equipment. The building is right on Ocean Blvd, a main thoroughfare that means a good bit of street noise and sirens; we used a noise machine at night which worked well. The place is very dog-friendly with many dogs in the building. And there is a nice, large dog park right behind the building where our athletic little monster could really stretch her legs. You also get two parking spots in the garage under the building - very convenient!
The unit itself is in great shape and well decorated/appointed. Cooking meals in the kitchen was comfortable, and it is well-stocked with glass-, flat-, dinner-, and cookwares. The living area and couch are large and can very comfortably sit 4 adults. The queen bed/mattress is also very good, firm with a pillow top. From the bed you get a gorgeous view of the city and snow-capped mountains in the distance through the large, north-facing windows. The only downside for us was that we are used to blackout curtains and this bedroom's curtains are sheer, so they let in a good bit of light (and street noise) in the night. The bathroom is well-stocked and the tub is larger than standard. There is a washer/dryer in the unit which is convenient, though they are pretty small. Internet was solid; we both worked from home streaming video and had no issues. And we heard very close to zero sounds from neighbors adjacent, above, or below.
Max was very responsive and communicative throughout, but we had no real issues even in our extended stay. The neighbors and folks in the building including security/staff were all very friendly.
