I had a wonderful stay at Udo's place in Long Beach. It is a couple blocks from the beach in a lovely historic neighborhood. But more than anything, it was the space itself and Udo's hospitality that made this stay wonderful. Udo has created a sanctuary full of beautiful plants and flowers, art and antiques. He has a wonderful eye for design and the little apartment is very pretty. Udo made sure I had everything I needed and was extremely thoughtful and considerate. Everything was spotless as well.
