The house is 1 and 1/2 blocks from the beach. The room has a futon bed, 2 windows with morning sunlight, a wardrobe, dresser, desk, and an air conditioner. While any guest is welcome, medical students working in the area have found this a great location. Bus to St.Johns's Episcopal stops at my block and at the hospital. For beachgoers, I can provide a beach towel and backpack beach chair. Returning guests will be offered a 10% discount. The space You will have full access to kitchen, living room, porch with small BBQ, and the side yard (which is a plus because most houses out here do not have a yard). Guest access You will enter via the main entrance to the house. FYI - The street view on Airbnb shows a neighboring street which is narrower than my street. My street is wide and has a more open feel. During your stay I will (mostly) be on the premises during your stay and will be using the kitchen, living room and bath as well. However, I will only interact as much as you're comfortable with. Other things to note Parking is problematic everywhere in town. Long Beach requires a pass to access the beach, $16/day and they are not purchasable nearby my house. If you're traveling by train, purchase the ticket that includes the train fare PLUS beach pass. You'll save some money. If you're staying for more than one day ask me about other beach pass options and I'll explain them. If you have a bicycle or surfboard, there is ample storage space in the back of the house. (You'll need to provide your own locking mechanism.)
