John’s place was perfect for our couple getaway. Street parking was very convenient. We were always able to find parking within our block (do read the signs as there is street cleaning on certain days but this was not an issue at all). It was very close to the beach and all restaurants offered within second street. We highly recommend getting bagels from Aroma Di Roma, coffee from Moon Mountain Coffee (specifically the salted caramel iced coffee) and pizza and French onion soup from Domenico’s Belmont Shore (this is the oldest restaurant in Long Beach so it’s a must!). We recommend bringing quarters if you plan on doing laundry since the laundry room only takes quarters. It was a hassle to get quarters around the area to wash our laundry due to the coin shortage but we know this isn’t John’s fault at all. He was also very responsive when our internet dropped and we were able to get wifi back very quickly. We recommend staying here and we would love to return in the nearby future!
