Groups I Belong ToCouch Information
Couch Available: Definitely! Preferred Gender: Any Max Surfers Per Night: 3
Shared Sleeping Surface: Depends Shared Room: DependsWe have a guest room with futon, but we also have many friends staying over on the weekends, so it depends on the night. You may get the room to yourself or have to take one of the three blow up air mattresses. If those are all full, there's also a super comfortable sheep skin rug and a not so comfortable vinyl couch. Other than that, plenty of floor space if you bring your sleeping bag! A FRIEND WILL OCCUPY OUR EXTRA ROOM FROM NOV.10-DEC.26 SO WILL BE TAKING LIMITED COUCHSURFERS AT THIS TIME. MORE LIKELY WE WILL HOST YOU ON THE WEEKENDS!
ABOUT US We live in downtown Long Beach above a noisy laundromat. It's me, Matthew & our cat Charles; plus a plethora of visiting family and friends.
Matthew & I are both 30 years old and love the nights. We don't smoke inside (besides hookah tobacco). Matthew is a medical doctor and I am a crystal healer who also sells crystals on ebay and my own handmade creations on etsy
SLEEPING OVER
Our couch is super cool, but super uncomfortable, but we have a blowup mattress and an extra futon, which is heavily used when friends crash here on the weekends, so be prepared to crash in a random spot. There are an assortment of blankets and pillows, but if you prefer to be comfortable and warm, I'd recommend you bring more blankets! It does get super hot in the summers. We also have clean towels if it was laundry day and a ton of people didn't just leave our house. And we DO live above a laundromat, so there's plenty of washing opportunities if you feel the desire...
TRANSPORTATION
Street parking can be difficult. You can walk around downtown Long Beach or take the bus (there is a free bus called the Passport going just around downtown, otherwise it's $0.90 to go further), but for CA in general, I'd highly recommend you rent a car.
We are also close to the metro line, which is very slow, but can be taken. Theoretically you can get to LAX airport by metro but it'll take you 2 hours compared to the 25 minutes by car. You can go by metro to downtown l.a. in one hour. Downtown L.A. is also about 30 minutes drive. Hollywood around 40 minutes. If you are taking the metro, get off at the Blue Line "1st Street" stop. Here is the website: Metro.com
If you are landing at Long Beach Airport, it's 15 minutes by car or a $0.90 ride on the Bus 111: www.longbeach.gov/airport.
You can also try google transit for public transportation in the area
OUR CITY We live a few blocks from the beach; in between the small downtown Long Beach and the more residential Alamitos Beach. Long Beach is the last city in Los Angeles County before hitting Orange County. It's a bit of a rundown beach city that is now unfortunately being revived to conform with that nasty corporate feel of Orange County that seems to be taking over originality. But, at the moment there are still plenty of dive bars, unique restaurants, independent shops and an eclectic mix of people...
GUEST PREFERENCES We are both night people, so if you like sightseeing or going to sleep early on the weekends, there are plenty of other hosts who do that, just not HERE! Here we accept only weekend party people (remember, you can't party out much without a 21+ license in USA)...On the weekdays we are pretty quiet since we have to work, so you we probably won't see you much.
We do expect you to come out with us when we go out, as we prefer to host those who are interested in getting to know us rather than just having a free place to crash!
I prefer people who contact me in advance and we chat for a while to see if we'd get along. I've hosted many people in the past and I've come to realize that it's only fun when you actually are going to have things in common and be on the same wavelength. So ultimately, if you think we could be long-term friends and you're someone who likes to keep in touch, you are who I am looking for.
Prefer a max of 3 nights unless we like you tons after we meet! If we become friends first it's easier for you to stay longer, so start writing today!
p.s. if you are heading to orange county, especially anaheim area (disneyland), you should definitely contact my mom about her couch: Ann Satin

Personal DescriptionI am very easy-going, open-minded. To me being open-minded means that everything I know could be true or false, and either way it doesn't matter. I can be a bit indifferent, I am not a big talker, but still social with an adaptable, go-with-the-flow mentality. I often hum or sing random songs of which I only know the chorus. I know what i like and who I like, it's all about the wavelength. I am self-employed; love the freedom! Work on the weekdays and go out every weekend!

good fun, bright and smiles is my memory of you.
From LELDE Riga, Latvia Nov 2 Positive Even though I didn't have much time to get to know her, the evening with her and other couchsurfers was great and enjoyable despite my cold. I definitely can assure that Sheila makes a pleasant first impression and would be great to meet her cheerful personality again!
From Mike Kamer Long Beach, United States Nov 2 Positive I have a feeling Sheila's going to turn out to be an awesome friend in the long run simply because the first time we met in person it was because she and Matt were picking me up to attend a CS event. Whenever I've caught a ride with someone - whether out of environmental consciousness, necessity, or pure choice - it didn't matter what it was for it's always led to great friends! She took me to my first CS event in OC and introduced me to a lot of people, and I'm forever grateful for it!
We've only hung out a little bit but I get the feeling that I'll be changing this to a reference overloaded with gushing comments of awe after a few more times of hanging out, and in the meantime suggest you trust EVERYONE ELSE'S comments on her as reason enough to host/be hosted by her.
From Erika Gutmane Riga, Latvia Oct 30 Positive Sheila is an owner of a radiant smile and a very friendly heart. Thanks for the time together!
Recommended to everyone!
