I was in Long Beach for a weekend trip and stayed in Eleanor's home. I was very satisfied with her home, service, and the overall stay.
Check in was easy. Eleanor allowed me to check in at 10:30am which helped my schedule a lot. Her house is in a clean, safe neighborhood that is centrally located. Long Beach State campus is close. LGB is close. There are also a number of supermarkets, stores, food --all within minutes of her home. I found this to be super convenient.
If you are a dog lover you will love Eleanor's dogs. They are super chill. They bark like dogs normally do but are playful and friendly.
The room that was given to me had its own bathroom and desk area. The bed was comfortable and the TV was huge. What Eleanor did though is basically provide all the basics and more into this one bedroom. I had a mini refrigerator and a basket of fresh bananas. There was also a basket of different snack type bars and treats and even cookies. Eleanor even provided plenty of cups and paper goods if I wanted to eat in my room. And basically I didn't need to even leave my room. I went out to the kitchen and dining area to get coffee and bagels but I thought it was pretty cool that Eleanor pretty much had everything covered for me in the room I stayed in.
Another plus is that the shower is huge, the water comes out hot, and with plenty of pressure.
I got to wash/dry my clothes as well.
Most importantly is that Eleanor was easy to get a hold of. On my last night of my stay Eleanor wasn't home, it was late at night and I had gotten myself into a situation at her house. I sent her a text and she responded almost immediately and over a few text messages she was able to get my issues resolved.
Eleanor was easy to communicate with and I would not hesitate to request to stay at her home again.
