The place is spacious and clean with pretty comfy beds. The location was perfect for us (we like walking places) and every morning my partner and I tried a new coffee place in the neighborhood. If we find ourselves going to LB or southern California and need a place to stay we will see if this place is available.

We had an amazing stay here! It was perfect for our family of four. Beautifully decorated, comfortable beds, ac/heater in each room and plenty of room to move about. Walking distance to restaurants, shops and the beach. Beach closest to the property is a dog beach but you can go down further if you don’t want to deal with the pooches. Our host Shawn was great too. He was quick to respond when we had a question about entry. Helps to get quick assistance especially after a long day of being on the road. Awesome stay in general!

We absolutely loved our stay here. It was better than we had expected by far. The property was clean and very spacious. The beds were very comfortable as well. The location was absolutely ideal. We used it as a 2 night stop for a cruise and didn’t have a vehicle but it was easy walking distance to both the beach and 2nd Street shops and restaurants. I would book here again and recommend to others. Thanks for having us!

Short visit in LB
The property is charming on the outside and inside. The parking was no trouble and the kitchen was well stocked. My only concern was the damp and musty smell. When we arrived there was an air dehumidifier running and a smell of mildew that never fulling went away. Not sure of the reason but it was a great neighborhood to spend a few days in. Walked the beach and eat well at the nearby eateries. Recommend it highly!
