About this property

Stay with us, park for free and skip the freeway crowds - walk to the Blue line/Willow station and take the Metro train and shuttle to SoFi Stadium.. ! Beat the crowds and don't pay for parking!!

Wonderful Spanish Revival / private bedroom and bathroom with private entrance. Queen size bed, mini fridge, microwave and Keurig coffee machine. There's a great backyard to relax in - feel free to fire up the barbecue! Pour yourself a glass of wine and sink into a good book! Free WI-FI, Smart TV, central air and heat and street parking.

We are minutes to the 710 and 405 freeways, and a mile and a half from the ocean. We are walking distance to the Blue Line Metro Station, which I highly recommend. Dodger Stadium is an easy Metro train ride to Union Station in Downtown L.A., followed by a free connecting bus to the stadium itself. Skip the freeway crowds and take the Metro train and shuttle to SoFi Stadium for SuperBowl LVI 2022! Downtown Long Beach, Long Beach Convention Center, STAPLES Center, Los Angeles Convention Center, Olvera Street, Little Tokyo and Chinatown in L.A. -- plus Honda Center and Angel Stadium in Anaheim are also an easy Metro train ride. Terrace Theater, local shops and Queen Mary are recommended. We have local breweries... a great coffee shop right up the street... Arts District... grocery stores... easy access to LA and OC.

There are lots of fun things to do in our area. Our local brewery - Long Beach Beer Lab - makes the best pizza and sourdough bread I've ever had! Great beer too! We're a short distance to grocery shops, drug stores and the post office. I consider myself a foodie and if you need recommendations, I'll be more than happy to give them to you. I have a favorite wine bar / beer store that I love! I think you would love it here! If you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact me. I hope to see you soon!

Good Location for our Stay

The room was clean and well appointed with coffee maker, microwave, fridge and space heater. Good communication with the host. Pet friendly. The room was a bit tight for 2 people with no real place for luggage and no closet. Room had additional furniture and chair that made it even tighter than shown in the pictures. Street parking was impossible for almost all days of our stay, and parking in the driveway meant shuffling cars a few times. The back yard was undergoing some messy construction. Overall it was a pretty good place to stay.

Nice little room

The room and bathroom are nice - they do share a common wall with the original house. There was a lot of construction type of material laying around the outside which made using the outside space not so desirable. Parking is non existent on the street - I came in late both nights I was there, and had to park in the owners driveway (which I apologized for in the morning) and she was fine with it - but it isn't the normal procedures. Overall a small but nice room for 1 person.

We had an amazing stay ! The backyard was so beautiful. The host was awesome at communicating and the room was great (we did struggle a little to unlock the door) The room did get warm early during this summer heat but the host was able to turn on the air. Definitely recommend, would stay here again !

Looking for a quiet and quick place to rest our heads for 1 night

Not what we expected. Lots of decor things have been added to the small room - different chairs, lots of decoration pillows, Frig, coffee maker, etc. Not a lot of room for guest stuff once you move all the decor pillows to the chair and floor. No place to set suitcase, no closet (few hangers), and no bathroom counter space for guests personal items. Pictures online are not updated to show it is full of things. I wanted to see if I made a mistake thinking it was a bit more open. The owner did work with us on check out time we appreciated that. Be sure you understand if owner will communicate by text or through VRBO. We missed a message when the owner went from test to VRBO messages after texting us all other access info. We arrived after midnight (there was no street parking at that time) and they allowed us to extend from 10am to 11:30am check out. This is where we missed the message from the owner, they offered us to park in the driveway - but we did not see the message. I was checking my texts but did not open the VRBO communication. We ended up leaving early because the dogs kept us up after we arrived and woke us up the next morning. The owner did apologized by text. The three dogs were very active in the morning. The place was quaint and very different from our other stays with VRBO - if you are a garden and plant lover - who want to sit in a patio area. This may be just the place for you. Ours was a very unique situation flying in and out for a memorial service and we personally need some peace and quiet. Bed was nice, Shower was good. Not sure we would stay again - it was not our cup of tea. Lots of things right. Which is why we gave it a good rating.

Great place, terrible parking

My sister and I loved the backyard. It was absolutely GORGEOUS. There was some hairbands and things under the bed, but besides that it was very clean! The bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom was very nice. The host was very nice, and she was a huge help in giving us ideas of things to do. The worst thing about our stay was definitely parking. The owner asks we don't park in the driveway, but her partner parks in front of the house and she has another room she rents out, so the parking on the street is almost impossible to find.

Delightful and welcoming!

From the day I booked this location to the minute I said goodbye, Karen was nothing but kind, thoughtful, and so accommodating! She was wonderful about communicating with me before my arrival and throughout it. The place and its surroundings were just delightful. My kids came to pick me up each morning and it was a wonderful experience for them as well. The backyard is an urban paradise with hummingbirds and butterflies galore. Victor, co-owner with Karen, does an amazing job taking care of the gardens and the property. Karen has a netted habitat on her deck for the caterpillars to cocoon and emerge into the beautiful monarch butterflies. Not only did we watch this process, but got to help release them as well, it was amazing! My kids had just moved to Long Beach only weeks before and she was just so welcoming and kind to us all. Her little dog, Monkey, was a lot of fun too! The accommodations were so cozy and welcoming. I had plenty of space to put my personal belongings and the bed was super comfy. The home is located in a lovely and safe neighborhood. I would like to address some comments made in a previous review. Karen has given me permission to mention that she has Parkinson’s. Be assured that this in no way hinders her from being an amazing and attentive host. When we arrived she had a plastic cast on her arm due to a fall. Her arm had been broken in 2 places. She has an amazing and positive outlook on life and it was a pleasure staying in her home. I would most definitely recommend this delightful retreat!

Once in a Lifetime Trip

This was my once in a lifetime trip to meet my son that I have not seen in 43 years. I would have been happy with a clean and safe place to stay, but this was so much more than that. Karen's property is beautiful and peaceful, the atmosphere here is zen like, one can feel the passion that has gone into the place inside and out. The butterfly's and cocoons are amazing to see, truly a once in a lifetime experience for me that I'm glad Karen was a part of. I will definitely be back!
