Overall was a great place to stay! The place is bright and clean and Chris and Ashley are very easy to get a hold of for any issues. Those are the three main things that I look for in an Airbnb. And they hit it out of the park with those. The location is amazing!! Only a few blocks away from the beach and pretty much walking distance to most restaurants and coffee shops. Those are the Pros and they are pretty top notch!
Now here are just a few cons and this could just be preference.
The place is bright and cute as I said but it is bright. Window dressing consists of white sheer curtains and for the bedroom additional blinds that are also white, which makes the place BRIGHT at the break of dawn. Yeah. My wife and I had a hard time getting rest after 6 am. Although we may not be bright and early morning people it’s not like we wanted to sleep in til noon. We work long days and early hours so we were looking forward to sleep in and relax, which we were unable to do. Second issue, the living room windows are only the sheers. Privacy is an issue. Even if the apartment may not have been visible from the street (and who really knows) blinds at the very least would have given us some peace of mind. That’s pretty much it. I believe if they got black out curtains for the bedroom and blinds for the front side this place would be unmatched as far as price, location and overall hospitality. Again, the cons are our preferences and maybe those things won’t bother you as much. Overall would definitely still recommend and stay there again when we come back down to Long Beach! Thanks Chris and Ashley
