Allison's place is very clean, and has comfortable beds. so if you are looking for a short stay like a day or two in long beach then this is good. however the bathroom is in the main bedroom, so others staying will have to come in to use it, and the door does not close as its like a swing door you hook a ribbon to stop it sliding open, so lacks proper privacy. there are not many pots and pans, but good amount of plates and cups. no kettle. the area is not a choice i would recommend for a first timer wanting to explore LA, and maybe not for single females, as we didn't feel the most comfortable. however supermarkets are near, and tram 5 min walk away to save on money. but if you want to go to the key tourist areas, then this is not a recommended apartment.
