The property was clean, well kept, quiet, relaxing and nicely designed. Communication with the host was amazing and quick. It’s centrally located to Long Beach, Buena Park, and Cerritos.
The host was very communicative and accommodating for our stay. The kitchen was stocked with complimentary items that were much needed! The koi fish look very happy and well cared for, and their outdoor space is inviting and well maintained. The main bed in the bedroom is very comfortable. Thank you!
We stayed here for a weekend disneyland trip. It was an easy 10 minute drive to the Disney parking garage. The room was lovely- decorated, clean, and cozy. The outdoor kitchen was full of snacks, which was an awesome surprise. We enjoyed smores by the fire pit. Feeding the koi was a fun quirky addition to the day! Loved it!
