Perfect for a weekend getaway! Property manager had excellent communication making for a very easy check-in/check-out process. Highly recommend and would definitely stay there again in the future. ##### Keith S. Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Lela C. 16 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Conflicted The interior of the property was as expected except for the shower. It was VERY tight. The property was clean and very comfortable, particularly the beds. The location is why I'm conflicted. The access is through an ally and doesn't appear safe. If we didn't have two men with us, I would not have stayed. Nonetheless, it seems that ally access is "a thing" in Long Beach and we had no issues with safety and we stayed 7 days. ##### Lela C. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly B. 7 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quaint cottage perfect for night stays I went to a convention for the weekend with friends so we were out of the house most of the day. It’s clean and comfy but we personally felt it is small. We’re all over 5’6” so the bathroom sink mirror was dangerously in the way. The shower felt cramped but we loved that the water got hot fast. The beds were soft and we were able to sleep comfortably without the heater because the blankets were so insulating. We enjoyed the water and coffee that was provided. The hosts were very communicative we appreciated their hospitality! Thank you! ##### Kelly B. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 29 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cute Little House, Great Location I loved everything about this property. It was exactly as described. Very clean, comfy beds, and every little detail was well thought out. The kitchen was stocked with necessities should we have needed them, which was a relief because we had traveled from out of state. The beds were also very comfy. I slept like a baby every night. We also enjoyed enclosed back porch! It was such a nice, cozy feature and it was perfect for relaxing with a couple of beers after our long drive in. The location is also fantastic as you can walk to lots of food options, including just a 30-second jaunt to get to a super delicious ramen shop. I should also add that the host was quick to respond to questions and checked in during our stay to make sure everything was going well. I honestly cannot say enough good things about this place and I would love to book again next time I’m in the area. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ross H. 18 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Perfect! My daughter and I stayed here for one night while we were passing through and it was perfect! They had everything we needed and more. It’s a pretty decent walking distance to anything you’d like to eat or need to grab from the grocery store; had great air conditioning, and a beautiful inside of the house. There are multiple fees but would have been worth the money if we stayed for more than a night. Overall it was great, Next time we will come back when we can stay longer! ##### Ross H.
