Seriously, his responsiveness helped so much in making sure this stay would be as memorable as possible. Casita Gundry was intimate, cozy, and just know it is small, but even with my group pushing the limits of guest size (recommended three but maximum 5), we were able to make it work and enjoy the space entirely. Casita Gundry if anything, is an amazing memory maker, being able to turn a space as intimate as it is, into orbs of light you’ll remember forever. Thank you so much Lars, thank you for the sweet treats given, and for curating such a beautiful and clean space. ##### Abimael P. Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris C. May 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Snug Little Getaway How lovely for our pups to have a yard to run and stretch in that is enclosed and we don't have to worry about them. Casita Gundry is put together brilliantly to accommodate space. There isn't an inch that is wasted. It feels very similar to camping with the trailer that has everything and your dining room being the great outdoors. We will always have a soft spot for our little house in Cal Heights as it gave us shelter from the storm. We see it as sanctuary. The hosts couldn't be more charming. There are many cute restaurants around and it is very freeway friendly. I think you'll love this historical part of Long Beach. ##### Chris C.

The private outdoor courtyards are adorable and the host provided coffee for the morning! Would definitely stay here again. ##### Jodi C. Stayed 1 night in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pamela H.

Definitely need car to get around and to Beach, but that’s pretty much all of California. Host is exceptional! ##### Pamela H. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ryan L.

It's in a wonderful location in the Cal Heights neighborhood, great for walks and minutes away from Steelhead Coffee and the Blackbird cafe. The casita was very clean and had everything we needed. (Favorite part was the tranquil, private back patio) Lars was an amazing host, super easy to communicate with, immediately responding to any questions and offering tips and suggestions on the neighborhood. Highly recommended! Also don't miss the fresh baked cookies he leaves in the casita—delicious. ##### Ryan L. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katey C.

We live in Vegas, so the drive is nothing. Lars is just the best host! He had everything so clean and ready for our arrival. It was the perfect fit for 4. He also had fresh basked cookies waiting for us. We will most definitely be back! ##### Katey C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Miranda S.

Every detail has been considered, and while the Casita is small, it has everything you could want. A/c worked perfectly. House was immaculately clean. Loved the contactless entry. Coffee pods were provided, and there were plenty of clean, nice dishes. Private back patio was shaded & quiet with citronella candles provided. Bathroom had all the amenities. It reminded me of boutique hotels in Tokyo, where they've mastered the art of offering superb hospitality when space is at a premium- you never feel lacking or like the space is 'tight.' And best of all, Lars left some yummy treats that I munched my way through. Can't recommend enough. Thank you so much for a great stay! ##### Miranda S.

Lars was a fantastic host, and we appreciated the privacy he gave us, while still being available to answer any questions we had and give excellent recommendations. The casita was so cute and the extra touch of having basics in the fridge ready for us ( like eggs and water) alongside homemade cookies was much appreciated. The property also had a great park within walking distance which was important to us as a family. We will definitely book here again during our next trip! ##### Megan C. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Loews Hollywood Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Loews-Hollywood-Hotel.h790158.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Los Angeles International Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Los-Angeles-International-Airport.h15407.Hotel-Information) > > [The Godfrey Hotel Hollywood](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Godfrey-Hotel-Hollywood.h32945867.Hotel-Information) > > [W Hollywood](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-W-Hollywood.h3084874.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Santa Monica Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Hilton-Santa-Monica-Hotel-Suites.h2944.Hotel-Information) > > [SLS Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Beverly Hills](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-SLS-Hotel.h11751.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A.
