Kate's place is a wonderful spot in a fun area in Long Beach. You can walk down to the beach in 5 minutes or downtown in 10. Plenty of local restaurants deliver. Parking is tough, but it's no different than any other beach community. You can double park for a sec to get your things inside and then go find parking elsewhere. I walked about a half mile the first day, but after that I timed things right and was able to get parking right outside. The space is comfortable, sunny, and perfect for a couple of people. Quiet at night and super safe. 🙂 Kate was an outstanding host, going above and beyond to help me settle in and be comfortable. Will definitely return.
