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. ##### Steve G.

Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Tammy J. 21 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Tammy J.

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. ##### Cynthia H.

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. ##### Skyler S.

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! ##### Becky A. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2021
