The location is fantastic.
Sitting outside on patio is wonderful. Restaurants were close, beach across the street, but street parking is tough because it's the beach.
It's cute, cozy, it's old and needs some TLC. Bathroom towel rack barely hanging on, as is the curtain rod over living room slider.
It's a beach scene. Walkers with dogs, joggers, cyclist it's nice. It's not private, and can be noisy, but didn't bother us.
Neighboring home is a rental and they were LOUD for their one day/night stay.
I stayed with my sister for 5 nights. We were visiting from Oregon. We grew up in Long Beach.
Had few problems with unit; it was not cleaned until 8:15p so we could not check in at 3p as expected. We sat outside (after dark!) until cleaning was complete at 8:15p. The refrigerator and stove were never cleaned. There is no microwave.
There was no mirror in the bathroom. Host said there used to be one but it went 'missing'. Host said she was sorry.
We never heard back from the host after asking about the outdoor trash cans. We were there for 5 nights and after 2 nights wanted to empty the trash. We just couldn't find it. Gate to the alley was locked and keys didn't fit. No one to ask.
Host also stated there would be some compensation for the unit not being cleaned upon arrival but so far,, nada.
Would I stay here again? No, but do love the area.
