First, the host. Though we didn't meet Marcelo, he made the whole rental process easy and enjoyable. He answered our inquiry quickly, and was very quick to answer emailed questions. The materials he supplied, about check-in procedures, the unit and its appliances, trash, local attractions and restaurants, were thorough and clear. When something might be ambiguous, he included photographs. He is probably the perfect host.

Next, the unit. The photographs and description were accurate; the unit was clean, well-equipped and furnished, and very comfortable for two adults. The view from the windows and balcony was unmistakeably Long Beach: the Queen Mary, cruise ships, beach and water. Very nice for urban East Coasters to see sunrise and sunsets like that. The building is very nicely kept, and quiet. Assigned parking is a big plus!

The location: convenient to everything in and around Long Beach. The walking/biking path is a wonderful asset. There is plenty to walk to nearby, and travel around the city from the building is easy.

We highly recommend this condo to anyone visiting Long Beach.
