We stayed for a last minute decision to stay in town Andy and Sati were somewhat hard to reach. We tried to book early same day but we couldn’t get a response. So we booked at 3pm instead. It was a fast booking. So we were ready to put our bags down nap and then explore. Instructions to get inside was a little confusing. So.
First. Read the instructions very carefully. Sentence by sentence step by step. Otherwise it will be very confusing.
Entering the apartment. It was very cute. The vibe inside was very different from the outside. It felt comfortable. The bed was amazing. Bring your own blanket though.
Neighborhood is not ideal. There were drug dealers and a few beggars on the sidewalks especially at night. But the distance to the beach was great. The distance to Anaheim is 30 min. 15 to Walmart. Costco is right down the street. It felt safer to enter through the back gate than the front door. Especially when carrying all your bags in. The neighbors were friendly and didn’t complain when my dog barked at them.
The noise level wasn’t that bad when we went. Be careful of the towel rack in the kitchen. It almost fell when we opened the freezer.
There is no microwave. So when buying groceries. Shop by portions unless you are okay with eating cold left overs.
There were no instructions on finding the WiFi code or how to open the patio or instructions on leaving.
The blanket was still wet when we got in. And the patio is not accessible. (At least we didn’t understand how to open it). The tv was confusing. But there was Netflix. Just be sure to delete your info when you leave.
Kitchen was set with dishes and cooking supplies. However the Dish soap was almost empty. Bathroom had enough towels. Extra pillows and blankets in the closet next to the bathroom. Parking is super tight especially because there was a minivan in front of the spot. If it’s hard to back in or turn into a parking spot find one on the street but don’t leave anything inside.
When we left i folded things we used and put it on the foot of the bed. We tried to clean as much as possible but we didnt know what else to do other than put the keys back.
It was a good experience. And especially good for a last minute no checks booking.
