Getting around

- You can catch a local bus to the Los Angeles Metro Rail system. But be warned: SoCal public transit is never "rapid;" you'll often do better with Lyft or Uber. - The nearest bike and scooter share point is at 10th & Cherry, just under a half mile from us.

Diversity and tolerance are core values for our family and our Long Beach community. We welcome guests of all races, religions, nationalities and sexual orientations. We have raised four children here and your children will be welcomed. BY BOOKING WITH US, YOU AGREE TO OUR RULES FOR A SAFE & RESTFUL STAY: 1) Third party bookings are not permitted, meaning that the person booking must actually be staying at the Airbnb, and you must provide the names of all guests 2) Parties and gatherings with people not on the reservation are not permitted on the property and that your own group, out of respect for our neighbors, will observe outdoor quiet time from 10pm to 7am. 3) This is a strictly no smoking, no vaping property, including the yard. Violations will result in a $250 penalty and a requirement to leave immediately. (Two of our adult children have their own homes in another building sharing the same yard, and smoking is an important issue for them.) 4) You must let us know if you wish to bring a pet, as you will need to pay an extra fee and agree to our pet rules.
