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 ([email protected]) including pictures to demonstrate the problem. I want a refund!

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!

Great location, nice area, and good room , Very responsive host

We went to Long Beach for a weekend getaway and to experience the Lobster festival..which I highly recommend. The apartment did not disappoint. It is an old building but with that came a lot of charm. The building was advertising a social BBQ on Sunday and even though we dont live there, they were very kind and invited us several times. I was concerned about the bed being to small but we actually slept pretty comfortably. The restroom is definitely not a girls best friend when it come to getting ready, but the apartment had plenty of mirrors to do your make up and hair. The balcony was wonderful, we sat out there both evening. The location was great. Lots to do. We were lucky that they had a street party/festival on our street with lots of live music and venders. The apartment is stocked up with everything you need. We were surprised to see they even had beach chairs and umbrella if we wanted to hangout on the beach. The owner Luis was very kind. There was a misunderstanding on checking in but Luis answered my call very quickly and was extremely helpful. He even checked in on us during our stay to see if everything was going well. Overall, we enjoyed our weekend and would recommend to anyone!

We very much enjoyed our stay at this Condo. It was perfect and what we needed post wedding festivities. The location was perfect. Walking distance to everything in Downtown Long Beach. I would highly recommend this place to any friend or family member as an alternate to a hotel. It is more cozy than a hotel room and you get a balcony that has a great view! We ate out every day we stayed here, but kitchen has everything you need to cook a nice meal and eat peacefully on the bistro set on the balcony. We will definitely stay here again when we need another vacation because the price cannot be beat! The building's charm was immediately transparent when we noticed the classic elevator dial indicator. Check in was a breeze! Luis was very communicative and checked in periodically. Parking is a covered garage 1 block away, so easy!! The building has 1 designated loading spot (painted white curb) that we used to loading and unloading luggage. I grew up in LA and am used to the one way streets, Long Beach is beautiful but can be a pain if you aren't used to a bustling downtown scene. Be patient and study your maps so you know exactly at what cross streets you need to be. The address is on Ocean Blvd, but the entrance is on the west side of the street on Linden Ave. Anyway, we loved our adventures in Long Beach this year and thank Luis for allowing us the opportunity to stay here. Cheers!

Excellent place to stay if you are working or attending a convention/event at the very close Long Beach Convention Center.

This studio apartment was great for a two person getaway. It was very clean, homey, and comfortable. The host had some items that we could take to the beach, chairs, towels, and a umbrella. The beach was more of a 10 minute walk but still easily accessible. The host provides an AC unit which made the room whatever temp we wanted, especially cold, which was amazing after coming back from the hot sun! Checking in and out was easy to follow and the host made sure everything was going smoothly. Wifi was great. The parking garage is down the street so parking in front of the apartments at the meters to bring your stuff in and out is easier then we parked in the garage. There is a nice cafe right next to the entrance, great wine! The host provided hotel soap in the bathroom but if you are staying multiple nights , bring your own. The sink is small but big enough to wash your hands. The instructions to checking out were simple. Overall, great stay to be by the beach and be 30 minutes from Disneyland and 5 minutes away from Catilina Express Ferry Port.

This was a fantastic VRBO and Luis was so kind all along the way! The property is well located and in walking distance to everything!

No issues with renting this property.

Location was amazing and such a cool place!!! We loved all the special touches and the room was super clean.

We were very pleased with the studio and found it very clean and comfortable. It is within walking distance to the convention center but did find it to be a bit of a Kong walk so wear your walking shoes! Luckily there are scooters and bikes to rent on every corner. We were worried that the Murphy bed would be uncomfortable but we actually slept very well and was larger than I expected! The kitchen was stocked with coffee, sugar, bottled water, as well as plates, mugs, wine glasses, etc. the building is older but it’s kept very clean and has a lot of character and charm! My only issue was a bit of a hiccup when checking out. When we checked in, I had issues accesses the key and the owner contacted me to help. The locked jams and is hard to open. The problems was quickly fixed and the owner checked in periodically during our stay to see if I needed anything. Check out was another story. Again, I could not open the lock to return the key. I texted the owner and sent a picture of the lock with the correct code and no response. I called the owner, and no response. I ended up leaving the key with the GM of the building who was very helpful as I had to catch a plane and couldn’t wait any longer. The owner has his read receipts on and I was able to see that he saw my texts, yet didn’t respond. I checked out 2 days ago and I’ve never heard back. After paying $612 , I would at least expect a response that he received my messages and the key made it back to him safely. Overall we had a very pleasant stay and would recommend this location to anyone who will be in the Long Beach area!

The unit is very clean and modern....exactly like the pictures. Luis is very responsive and all my needs were taken care of. I attended a conference at the convention center and this was definitely a better option! Close walking distance to the center and there are many wonderful restaurants nearby.
