First off, John is a fantastic host, he was very helpful in explaining what was available and offering us suggestions for food and attractions. The rental is ideally located in OB just a few blocks off the main street (Newport), only another few blocks to the beach, and a short distance to sunset cliffs. The neighborhood is quiet, but like many neighborhoods it's in the airport flight path... and that noise cannot be avoided. The apartment is spacious, and the kitchen is well stocked with all the gear you will need to prepare most simple meals. The bed is comfortable (memory foam), and there are plenty of extra towels and pillows. We really enjoyed our stay here and hope to return in the future!
