While visiting my son for the weekend, we stayed at this cute studio. The owner Rita was amazing, making our stay at her rental stress free. Rita was great in communicating and checking in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Directions and instructions for checking in were clear and made checking in seamless. I had forgotten to pack hair spray, but there was a basket of toiletries in bathroom with hairspray! That saved me from having to go out and buy a bottle just for the weekend. There’s also a mini fridge and coffee bar with bottled water and snacks! The bed is very comfortable. Cleanliness is important to me when staying at a rental or hotel and the studio was very clean. Rita’s home is beautiful, the area feels very safe and the charming neighborhood is nice for walks. I also liked the binder of information and story of the history of the home and studio rental. Thank you Rita and Dan!
We had a wonderful stay! The place is so charming. The bed is so comfortable, and the host Rita is Amazing!
Our stay was amazing. From the minute we arrived everything was perfect. The bed is super comfortable. The snacks and water including coffee was very convenient. We felt very safe walking through the neighborhood. Rita and Dan were kind and friendly. We will return. So many restaurants and things to do. Highly recommend.
This studio was the perfect getaway located in the heart of Bixby Long Beach. An ideal location with great host and everything you need all a phone call away! Thank you Rita and Dan
Nice comfortable room. No frills, bed, bathroom and mini fridge. Rita the host was just wonderful, she made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The neighborhood is quiet and you felt safe. We did enjoy an evening walk, but did not have the time to enjoy the beautiful patio and porch. Rita picked lemons from her tree for my tea, I was even able to take a few home. Would stay again!
Rita was communicative and helpful. Her little studio is very well laid out and very private. The best thing was the comfort of the bed. I will come back. again and I have recommended her place to others.
The property was as described, clean, comfortable, and welcoming with thoughtful and useful amenities! Instructions and communication were very clear. Beautiful neighborhood and beautiful home. We would definitely stay again! Thanks so much!
Rita’s place is cute and cozy. The bed is super comfy and she makes sure that you have all of the toiletries that you need.
Rita was a wonderful host. The stay was wonderful. The space is very cozy and perfect for a quick 2 day trip. Instructions were so well explained and everything was great. I had a bit of an issue prior to my visit and she was more than willing to help out. She offered suggestions and options. Great, quiet place!
Basic needs met. Great location. Friendly, walkable neighborhood.
This guest studio was the perfect place for my friend and I to stay for a quick trip to Long Beach! The location was great and I LOVED that Rita left water, toiletries, etc., for her guests to use. She is a very kind and helpful host, and I would certainly stay here again the next time I'm in Long Beach. Thank you Rita!
This was our second stay at this fabulous place. The hosts go way out of their way to make you feel comfortable. The accommodation is very cozy and very comfortable.
If you're looking for a home away from home. This is THE spot. The place is clean, serene, and has everything you could possibly think of. From coffee pods and coffee machine to snacks to even toiletries. Rita and her husband have thought of it all! She also provides places to go see and some great hike ideas especially when the weather is amazing! Thank you Rita, for having me stay at your wonderful place! I look forward to staying again!! And thank you for the best lemon cupcakes I have ever had.
Had a wonderful stay at this cozy guest house. The owners are wonderful to work with and go out of their way to help you. Loved it so much , we will be staying again.
The room and neighborhood are lovely. Great bars and restaurants are within walking distance and an Uber is usually available within 10 minutes. Communication with Rita was prefect. We enjoyed our stay very much.
A wonderful place, highly recommend
Location, communication and price were all great. Thank you for the stay.
I stayed at this cozy private room for a week during my vacation to Los Angeles and I had a fantastic experience. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the location and surrounding neighborhood was gorgeous and tranquil. My only complaint would be that at night it did get pretty cold but the thick bed sheets and provided heater did a great job at keeping me and the room warm
Perfect room above the garage of a beautiful 1929s Spanish revival style home in a great neighborhood. The bed was comfy, the fan was enough for us in September but there was AC also. The shower had good pressure and the bathroom was clean if small. Rita thoughtfully had all sorts of spare bathroom amenities and also a fridge with lots of water plus a keurig and creamers. We could not have been happier with our stay!
Like so many reviews before this one, these accommodations were as described - easy check-in process, clean and comfortable room with all necessities. Friendly hosts made for a pleasant stay. I would definitely be returning on my next trip to LB.
It is in a great neighborhood. Within walking distance to amazing food. The owners go way above and beyond! I am so thankful we found this place for our girls trip. We felt very safe
The bed was so comfy and the place was adorable
Exactly what we needed as a base for our trip!
Very accommodating, kind hosts. Close to restaurants and shopping. Beautiful yard and neighborhood. Highly recommended. Would definitely stay here again. Diane and Scott
