We have stayed in all of the hotels in Long Beach. We are frequent users of Airbnb and other home rental sites. I must say Udo's home in Long Beach is our absolute favorite! Nothing even closely compares. For starters, we agree with most comments where folks take note the photo's of the home don't do justice. Not that the photo's are bad - it's just this place is amazing to see in person! Udo's hospitality, approachability and personality is second to none. We are walkers and the central location of the home makes it easy to access the downtown area of Long Beach, as well as Belmont Shore area and the killer vibes of 4th Street (Retro Row) and Broadway. Also, the beach is totally walkable from this outstanding home. However, we both agree we could sit on the private deck overlooking the beautifully landscaped backyard, or in the backyard itself, and never leave! We hit lotto and we plan on making Udo an offer he can't refuse!
