The location is fantastic, just steps from the beach, which was the highlight of our stay. The condo itself is nicely remodeled, the beds were comfortable, and everything was as expected in that regard.We really appreciated how responsive and communicative the hosts were throughout our stay. They replied quickly and sent someone promptly when we had issues.That said, there were a few drawbacks that impacted our comfort. The single toilet started having serious flushing problems on Friday (water rising high, needing to plunge every other use). Even after maintenance came on Saturday and said it was fixed, the issue continued through Sunday and until checkout Monday. With it being the only bathroom and limited public options nearby, this was especially inconvenient.One night we were woken up around 4am by two men (sounded like upstairs guests) yelling back and forth to each other. It was so loud it seemed like they were in our room. The market next door also plays house music consistently while open, so light sleepers may want earplugs. The living room TV works but lags quite a bit when trying to log into apps and requires a lot of patience.Overall the location made the stay worth it, but the toilet situation and noise issues took away from the experience. Future guests should be aware, especially if sensitive to sleep disruptions.

My girls and I absolutely enjoyed the proximity to the beach and Newport Ave. This property has very easy access to the freeway. The beds are comfortable. The kitchen/livingroom has a nice open layout. Bonus: the washer and dryer! We hope to stay here again!
