Susan's one-bedroom rental, a half of a duplex built in the 1920s, is ideally situated in a beautiful area of Long Beach. Just a short block from the main shopping street in Belmont Shore and a five-minute walk from the beach, the apartment is quiet and a wonderful place to be. The main room is sun-drenched and an absolute pleasure to work in (comfy chairs around a great table, both for dining and working!). Even though the place is old and the kitchen a bit cramped, there are delightful touches everywhere. A whole month here passed quickly and I never tired of such a charming little place -- a great place in which to work and to relax, and to feel cozy and at home in the evenings! But most of all, Susan is a gem of a host, conscientious, friendly, and amazingly quick in her responsiveness. I could ask for nothing more and definitely plan on being back again for even longer stays!
