Patrick is a fantastic host. I didn't get to meet him in person, but his communication is top notch, no doubt about it. His listing was very accurate, and I was VERY glad for his excellent recommendations. Everything he suggested was suburb.

The neighborhood was hip. Lots and lots of restaurants and bars in the area, and less than 3 blocks away was the beach!

My ONLY complaint is that there were a lot of bugs in the apartment. Much more than average. I understand that it's most likely not Patrick's fault, as the building has several apartments, any of which could have been the source of the bugs. Still, it would have been nice to see some traps, or even some bug spray.

All-in-all, I loved staying at Patrick's. I was his first Airbnb guest, but I didn't feel as though he was novice host. Really glad I decided to stay with him, and I'd recommend his apartment to anyone that would like to stay in Long Beach.

Thank you Patrick!!
