Beautiful, incredibly clean home in the perfect location.

We had an excellent stay here - you're a few minute walk from the beach and all the action (restaurants, bars, coffee, etc) yet it's still incredibly quiet. The AC unit is powerful and everything is brand new and hotel-like-clean! The ONLY reason that I took off one star is the parking and the noise from the upper unit. There is off street parking for the lower unit which is pictured, but if a car is parked on the street in front of it (100% chance that will happen as it's a busy street), it's incredibly difficult to back into. It wasn't even worth trying for us. Additionally, it is a lower unit which is incredibly clear in the listing; however, you could really hear most things in the upper unit - every footstep, drawer open, toilet flush. It wasn't too bothersome but it's just noticeable. If things like that bother you definitely book the upper unit. The upper unit also gets the garage space. Besides those two things, this was the perfect spot and we'd definitely book again and stay in the upper unit next time!

Allie, Thank you for your 4 star review. 4 stars is awesome...but we always strive for that 5 star review. You wrote: "I took off one star is the parking and the noise from the upper unit. There is off street parking for the lower unit which is pictured," Not only is it pictured BUT we let you know this is what to expect and the measurements. You also paid a lot less than the upper unit because they get the garage. We are trying to get a straight on access with the city but until that is approved ..it's access to the left short drive or the right neighbors short drive...and again, all disclosed. Most of the time..little issue with street parking...but because we are Newport beach and summertime is happening it may be more challenging until late in the day to find a spot. We let you know that BIG vehicles will NOT work...by virtue of disclosing all info regarding the space. so if you show up with a Yukon..??? You also booked a lower unit..which should not have been bothersome with the noise but , possibly, understandable. They are virtually identical...if you are sleeping they are, too, above you. No issues. We have flooring with cork underlayment above AND plenty of insulation between floors that should mitigate any issues.
