Thank you for staying with us - we are so happy you enjoyed yourself. Please come back for a visit anytime.
This was a wonderful rental. The room was secure, quiet, clean, and cute. I have visited Long Beach many times, and enjoy staying close to second st., and the location could not have been better. There was an issue at check in. However when I called the host, the issue was dealt with quickly and efficiently, which was very nice. Overall great stay and would definitely stay again.
