I'm a travel nurse and I stayed for 3 months. This place is great! As a travel nurse, I tend to have a lot more with me than the average vacationer. I loved that there were so many places to store my things and keep the place from looking cluttered. It is a much larger space than it looks in pictures. It is very open and inviting.
+Location - perfect location. So many things are within walking distance. Downtown, Pike Outlets, the aquarium, a Vons grocery store, and so much more. And of course, the beach is just a few minutes away. It has a bike and walking trail.
+Communication - Leila is a great host. Very friendly and quick to respond. I had everything I needed.
+Parking - as other reviews have stated, this is the one drawback. It is street parking only. If you are getting back any later than 6-7pm, expect to have a hard time finding a spot. Save yourself a headache and don't even bother trying to find a close spot; there are none. You will see other cars cruising round and round the nearby blocks looking and still not finding. Trust me, don't waste your time.
This was my nightly search:
1) Broadway (5 min) - a long street with many businesses you can park in front of. Try to find a spot between Cerritos and Bonito.
2) Downtown (10 min) - head past the condo and keep going on Ocean Blvd until you start getting close to downtown. You can usually find a spot on either side of Ocean or one of the nearby side streets.
3) Bixby Park (15 min) - a last ditch effort. If the other two areas had nothing, I could always find a spot here. It's a bit farther, but it comes through.
Important: make sure you pay attention to street sweeping signs and meters!! I got a few citations for being careless and had to pay the price. Watch out for pedestrians. People are out with bikes, dogs, skateboards and so on at all times of day and night.

Overall, I would recommend this place. It is lovely and in a great location. The parking is difficult, but it can be done. I would definitely stay again.
