The property was very clean and cozy. My husband and I stayed for 6 nights. The host (Luis) checked in regularly to make sure we were comfortable with everything.Thank you Luis for being an excellent host.everything.
Pleasant 5 night stay during Long Beach Grand Prix
It is a nice little studio condo, that was very convenient for the event. It was clean, with a nice full kitchen. The building seemed to have good security. It was nice to have parking in the garage around the corner. The host was very responsive to my questions.
Excellent location! Conveniently located near a grocery store and a variety of restaurants, with just a short walk to the waterfront. Perfect spot for my extended stay—everything I needed was close by. Highly recommend!
Especially communication was beyond great and quick. Luis was an amazing host. The apartment was clean and had everything I needed, it also offers great views and is within minutes walking distance to the water. Thank you for letting me stay at your beautiful place. I would definitely be happy to come back and stay again
Great place with a cozy bed and nice location. I stayed for a conference and it was a convenient location to get to the local hotels and shopping areas. The building was very cool since it was a historic site and I liked exploring the history of it!
This is a nice little place with several options for entertainment. There’s several things, including the beach within walking distance. Cute little balcony for coffee in the morning or you have the option of a little coffee shop. Very cute would definitely stay again.

This was a great location for working the event in Long Beach! Very pleased. We hope to return next year!
This was a perfect home-base for a career conference at the Long Beach convention center, complete with secure garage parking! So many terrific restaurants within easy walking distance! Luis was extremely communicative and accomodating, and we couldn't have asked for things to go more smoothly!

A very nice apartment located in the heart of Long Beach. Easy to access and parking pass in nearby garage were a big plus. I also liked the full kitchen and large refrigerator.
The owner (Luis) is great - I'm a grandmother and he had to hand-hold me through the first 36 hours getting stuff figured out.
If you are mobility-impaired (uh, or just an geezer) getting in and out of the bed one has to crawl up was a pain in the neck, but otherwise I loved the location, the building, the downtown energy of this place.
Luis was very communicative during the entire process of checking in. Also followed up to see how everything was going. Location was incredible and the apartment was fantastic. The only downside if anything was the bathroom sink. A bit quirky but workable. Building is extremely secure and everyone there were helpful. Overall a great stay and hope to be back soon! Thanks Luis for sharing your property with us!
This place is super cute. Perfect for what I was looking for. The place was clean and has everything you need plus a few extras. Convention Center, shopping and the LB aquarium are all in walking distance. Plenty of restaurants to choose from, really nicely located. There’s even a coffee shop and restaurant in the building which made it very convenient. The check in and out process was simple and clearly explained in the instructions. The host was very responsive and had great recommendations. It was truly a great experience.
The apartment was perfect! Right in downtown and easy walking to everything cool in Long Beach! The secured parking that comes with the apartment is such a nice bonus! The apartment itself felt very safe and comfy. The little balcony was perfect for people watching and morning coffee. ❤️ It was very clean and the owners very responsive and helpful! The value for this stay was amazing! No where else in downtown will you find this! Such a gem! We will definitely be back on our next time to Long Beach!!

Disliked: Cleanliness
I checked in but didn't stay in the property! It was impossible to use the very dirty mattress and bed sheets. The bed sheets were used, probable by a previous guest, and the mattress and its' protector were dirty and damage as well. Not to mention some strange absorbent papers that we found under the mattress protector.
It was impossible to lay down in the bed under such terrible unsafe conditions.
I didn’t stay in the property a single minute and immediately moved out to a near hotel.
This was communicated immediately to the host with pictures, and the unit's keys were returned next day.
The host Mrs. Luis Reina said I need to talk to you as she couldn’t do anything.
The problem was also reported to Vrbo. Support Team on Nov 20th, via phone and e-mail (support_vrbo@vrbo.com) including pictures to demonstrate the problem.
I want a refund!

The building is a Historic Landmark build 100 years ago. It is not flawless but it has some genuine character and charm. Bathroom took a little getting used to but the restaurant below had some live music over the weekend. A Vons is 2 blocks away and there are many convenient transportation options.
Realmente es un lugar muy idóneo para descansar, muy moderno y limpio. La comunicación y la atención del dueño son más que elogiables, espero volver pronto. Si vienes te encantará

The Vrbo site was down for two days before my check in date. Fortunately, Luis did an excellent job of guiding me through the process or I would have been helpless. Also, the kitchen sink was clogged. Luis was very responsive with a solution. His personal touch made a huge difference in what could have been a negative experience. I will be a repeat customer and I wish Luis continued success. Good job and thank you!
This is more than just a studio as it's nice sized with good sized bed, a nice couch, plenty of drawers to put clothes in, and pretty much a full kitchen. Laundry is in the basement and accepts credit cards (but not the detergent which accepts only coins). This is a nice historic building in Long Beach and is close to the convention center, many restaurants, and the beach. Parking is available with a parking structure that works with the building's owner and is pretty much easy. If I wasn't getting a second home in Long Beach, I'd strongly consider staying here again. The owner was also very communicative, helping me get through the lockbox and other logistics smoothly. The only snag during my stay was the dishwasher leaked soap but he offered to send someone that same day, but I advised him since I mostly ate out this trip to have it looked at more properly afterwards. Overall, good stay, good building, and definitely great unit.
Great studio, with chance of so much more potential. Host was wonderful and goes above and beyond.
Luis was a wonderful host, really appreciate everything he did for my wife and I. Leaving roses was a wonderful additional touch to the place. He checked in on us during our stay to make sure everything was to our liking. Made recommendations as to where to eat and didn’t disappoint.
We stayed for an entire week at Luis place, upon arriving we left quick to go eat when we returned later the day we realized the floor was a bit dirty we notify Luis and he sent someone to clean up. Was really impressed on how quickly he took care of this.
The place has a AC unit and small electronic firewood heater which is perfect for the space. AC really cooled down the place quickly when needed. Kitchen has utensils needed to cook if you wish to do so. We didn’t use any of it but it’s there if you need it. Filter pitcher in the refrigerator is a great additional perk if you don’t wish to buy water. Coffee machine is there also to make some coffee, which you can enjoy on the balcony early mornings. Best part you can head downstairs to the two coffee shops and just buy. One offers a larger menu for food and sandwiches which is great for a quick bite. The space is located really close to plenty of restaurants to chose from. There is also a place to go grocery shopping at, less than a 7-10 minute walk away.
The sleeping arrangements could be a little better. The bed is in between a enclosed space so only way onto the bed is to climb in from the foot of the bed. Same way into the bed is the same way off the bed. Bed isn’t the worst bed, but the issue is the squeaky of the bed while getting on and off the bed. Upgrading the bed, bedding, and pillows would definitely increase the value of this place. When it comes to hospitality business white bedding and pillow cases is key to showcase the cleanliness of the place.
Bathroom does it’s job, just very small for females to get ready. There were shampoo and conditioner supplied along with more than enough T.P. Can’t tell you how many time I stayed at places where we are staying over 5 days and half a roll is given.
Overall we had a great stay and loved that we were 30 minutes to Hollywood and Disneyland location since those were some places we visited. Train station is very close by as well but we Uber everywhere instead. $35-45 to Disney depending what time you are leaving. Same price for Hollywood area.
Thank you Luis for allowing us to stay.
Luis was a superb host with excellent communication skills. He was always quick to respond and proactive in checking in every few weeks if he hadn't heard from me. The place is very cute and comfortable with a balcony to view the ocean and historic dowtown Long Beach beautifully lit at night. The balcony is also great for people watching with the busy 555 East steakhouse directly across the street, Modica's Deli directly below (sometimes hosting live music in the warmer months) and the constant activity along Ocean Boulevard. I will seek out this rental again when staying in Long Beach.
The condo was very comfortable, beautifully decorated. In a charming historic building within walking distance of several restaurants and the convention center. The communication was great as well, with the owner responding to messages almost immediately every time. I would book this condo again in a heart beat!
