The homeowners are very kind. Beautiful back yard with all kinds of fruit trees and friendly, cute dogs. We felt very at home and safe in our private mother in law apartment. Has a staying with family feel. Great for singles, couples, or a parent and child. Onsite free washer and dryer available for use. Nice size kitchenette perfect for our needs.
This is a perfect place to stay while I'm in town a few days a week, attending school. Great parking in a nice, quiet neighborhood. Couldn't be happier!
This place is perfect, had everything clean and Patricia and Kenny were lovely people. We were going to bring our baby but plans changed however this place is great for families with kids too!
It had all the described necessities. A very great location as Lakewood Mall is a couple streets over. Airport is also very close by. There are loose dogs around the unit but are very friendly.
Clean and fairly easy access. The gate was difficult to navigate, but after 2 days we figured it out. Check in and out easy. Appreciate the location, which worked for our visit to relatives. Hope to return.
This was such a perfect location for exploring the SoCal area! Quick trip to Disney, Knott's, and Universal. Close to beaches and about an hour to downtown LA. We loved the quiet neighborhood that had easy access to many routes. Ken and Patricia were wonderful hosts as well.

Patricia and Kenny made our stay comfortable with their cozy and welcoming cottage. My daughter and i stayed at their rental for her 5th birthday Disneyland trip. The rental was only 25 mins from Disneyland in a quiet little neighborhood. A

Loveline and her adorable daughter were lovely guests. We are glad to have had the opportunity to host them.
The room was very nice, specious, neat and organized. The atmosphere was very relaxing, it was a nice touch to have a ac and a heater. The table in the room helped me do my work on my laptop. The bed was soft and big. The host was very polite and helpful.
We picked this place because of the reviews and we had a great experience! Patricia and Kenny are great hosts, very attentive and hospitable. The location is in a neighborhood and we felt very safe the whole time. It was a reasonable and easy drive to Knott’s and not a bad drive to downtown to visit Olvera St. We loved being so close to shopping and appreciated the local restaurant recommendations! This was just the place to have a home base for the break my daughter and I needed.
The host was very attentive, however unfortunately the space wasnt clean. My rollerbag ended up with huge gobs of dog poo on it from the backyard. The bed is ridden with hundreds of bed bugs. The host gave me a refund but I lost an additional 300 for my suitcase and extra hotel expense.

I advise hosts not to have anything to do with this guest. She repeatedly said she sent videos of bed bugs. I have not received any photos or videos. There are no bugs of any kind anywhere in the comfy, homey studio.
Easy to check in and out! Host provided very clear instructions on how to get in and out of the property. Property was clean and had everything you needed! I’d say our only complaint is that the walls are a bit thin so we could hear all of the outside noise and neighbor noise very clearly in the mornings, making it a bit hard to sleep in. Otherwise, nice, cozy, safe, and affordable stay that’s worth the money! Great location as well.

About the host
Hosted by Patricia L Chen
We've lived in Long Beach for over 40 years. Kenny divides his time between the dogs and his orchard. Patricia works full-time. We take long walks in the neighborhood or at the beach to try to walk off the food we love so much. We enjoy hosting and getting to meet so many different interesting people, but we follow your lead and respect your privacy if you are not inclined to chat.
Why they chose this property
We bought the house in 2000. We like it because the lot is good-sized. The street has no sidewalks, so it looks greener than many other places. It's a quiet, safe neighborhood, and every house was designed and built individually; no two are alike.
What makes this property unique
Our unit is a studio with its own private door. The walls and ceiling in the main area are covered with pine boards, so it has a rustic feel. The floor in the main area and laundry area are tile, and the floor in the bathroom is stone. There is no carpet anywhere. The snack preparation area has a microwave oven, dorm-sized mini-fridge, toaster, coffee maker and grinder, and tea kettle. There is a sink, but no stove. The laundry is directly off the room, very convenient. The room is at the back of our house, locked off, on the other side of the laundry room, with its own entrance. It's really spacious, with a sofa and coffee table tucked into one corner, and a cute, round kitchen table by the window. It's really a great place to hang out.
