My wife and I had a fantastic time in long beach, and a lot of it was due to the fact that our arrival, stay, and departure were exceptional. This was our first time using Airbnb, so it's hard to make comparisons, but the experience was great.
When we arrived Jan and Dale warmly greeted us and showed us around the place and explained how everything works. The place was clean, very well decorated, and up to date. The fridge was filled with delicious food, there were all the necessary condiments and more food in the kitchen shelves. The bathroom was also fully stocked with everything from soaps and hair products, to lotions and sunblock. And everything is from either Trader Joe's or Sprouts... huge points for that. They were also accommodating of our puppy, they themselves have very well behaved dogs.
Neither my wife nor I could think of any negatives during our stay. We hope that we can stay there again sometime in the near future.
