Unfortunately this property was not for us. It was in the hood and by the hood I mean: gun shots, homeless people sleeping on your street, drunks, needles in the streets. We did not feel safe in this property at all, let alone walking to the shops or thinking if our car would still be there when we got back.
The property was severely outdated and not clean. The fans, mirrors etc covered in dust. Bedding was clean however.
Unfortunately for us, we arrived to a heatwave and some of the hottest days long beach has ever seen. A tiny aircon unit that had been fashioned together was absolutely not sufficient for the front room, let alone the bedrooms or kitchen. The kitchen was so hot the fridge was 20c above the required temperature and the freezer didn’t even keep ice frozen so we could store no food at the property for the duration of our stay.
This property is no where near the beach and parking is an absolute nightmare. You could get no where near your house at almost anytime of the day. A drive way or parking space for this property is needed for ongoing rentals. You need to wheel your suitcases through the hood 2-3 blocks to get where you need too. With a child this location is not safe. We stayed out at the parks purposely so we didn’t have to return. The property, amenities, fridge, aircon and cleanliness were all subpar. Usually a Stayz house or apartment would add to our experience but not this one. Sorry honest review.
