The apartment itself is nice. The location to the beach, restaurants, and shops is also very nice. My boyfriend and I really liked that the TV has all of the streaming services that we use when were having some lazy moment just staying in the apartment.
However, I'd read some older reviews that brought up bed bugs and had that worry but we didn't experience bed bugs, instead we had a different experience. My boyfriend and I normally kept all of the windows open leaving it pretty breezy/cool. We left for one night to stay in Anaheim for Disneyland. Since we didn't want to leave all of the windows open while we were gone we closed them all except one(the small one next to the TV and work area) and turned off the fan so we didn't waste electricity. When we got back there were little baby termites ALL.OVER. the couch, in my clothes, all over the sink/hot plate/microwave area, the small work place kind of station in the one corner of the apartment and some even in the TV stand. At first we thought they were bugs that had come in from the one window, but after calling an exterminator friend of mine and sending pictures of them he did confirm that they were indeed termites. Thankfully we were able to sweep them up and gather them together and throw them outside. But it was still definitely a sight to see when we returned expecting to walk into the normal environment we'd left. The remaining days there, we stayed from Saturday to Friday and went to Anaheim Monday night returning to the termites on Tuesday night, we had to keep squishing the bugs or sweeping them up.
The only other thing my boyfriend and I had some issues with was the remote. It was a bit wonky and we'd spend a good 10 minutes a night trying to get it to work so we could relax for the night.
I gave this place a 4/5 because the listing did visually describe the place perfectly. It was close to everything we wanted, so we didn't have to spend all of our time in the apartment. The neighbors seemed very nice. Guillermo was there when needed.
