We really enjoyed our stay in the Newport/Balboa peninsula area. The 1-bedroom apartment was a mere seconds walk to the sands of the beach. It was obvious that the elderly property was mostly renovated and updated with excellent taste: kitchen, cabinets, countertops, appliances, bidet toilet, lights w/dimmers, windows and keypad door locks were all very nice and in excellent condition. Nothing but praise for this well thought out and clean property. It was perfect for two people.
If we were "forced' to give a critique, it would be for a minimum 11am check out, (10am feels a little rushed) the shower pan to be updated, and some kind of lock system put on the assigned garage parking. (We found items -several bikes) in the garage that prevented us from parking. (we have a small sports car) We weren't sure whose property they were, so we didn't remove. When we checked the next morning, they were moved...?
Nothing but praise for the owners, the property unit renovations and communication were great. Well done.
LIke I said, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend for a couples get away. Thank you!
