Visit the Beach from a Historic Downtown Apartment

NRP21-00092

Embrace the unique character and romance of this historic California apartment. Lush velvet furnishings, rustic Spanish architecture and a delightful original kitchen make this apartment the perfect place for a memorable southern California getaway.

The apartment is nestled in the historic Willmore City district of Downtown Long Beach. One mile from the Convention Center, and a short walk to the train station and city bus stops. Grab a 10 minute Uber to the beach or Pike Outlets. Off-site parking available.

If you need anything during your stay, the property manager is nearby.

The 1-bedroom home measures at just over 1000 Sq ft. The large living room can also be easily transformed into another sleeping space by accessing the queen sized, cabinet murphy bed.

The kitchen boasts much of its original charm! However, you will also have brand new large and small appliances, cookware and dinnerware. The dining area is small but quaint and resembles a miniature café with bar style seating for four.

There are two air conditioning units in the apartment, a portable one in the living room and a window unit in the master bedroom..

The entire apartment is available for our guests.

We live nearby and are available via Airbnb messaging if you need anything during your stay.

Perfect, thoughtful, responsive
Visiting Long Beach for the first time for a convention. The location of this rental was about one mile from the convention center, which in the gorgeous May weather, made it a delightful walk. Local and walkable to restaurants, grocery, drug store, night life, beach, aquarium, playgrounds, etc. even with a 2 and 4 year old. The unit itself is MORE spacious than the pictures indicate which was a really pleasant surprise. Kids loved the hidden Murphy bed in the cabinet. FireStick with Netflix, Disney+, etc. in several rooms. Office spaces were a bonus. Kitchen is fully stocked with nonperishable condiments, as well as snacks, tea, coffee, popcorn. Eating nook was cute and homey. Bedroom and bed was comfortable with plenty of closet and shelving/drawers. Laundry room complete with detergent to help manage needs in that area. Bathroom with backups and extras that went forgotten perhaps - toothbrushes, shaving cream, sunscreens, first aid, soap, shampoo, conditioner, razors, tampons/pads, even Tylenol! I felt safe, happy, and enjoyed my stay here with my family. No concerns as a 36yo female walking after dark. Kids and husband had a blast too. If we are ever back to Long Beach, will book again without hesitation. Thank you for a great stay, Greta and Hiplandia!
