This is the second time that we have stayed at Silka and Wilf's home on upper Newport. They have a lovely and quite comfortable home, with sweeping views of the ocean. We actually could see all the way to beyond Oceanside because of a storm the day before which cleared the skies. Incredible. Their home sits above the rental, and Silka is always close by and is a great accommodating host. Our son and daughter in law live a 15 minute walk away, and this trip our daughter and her husband also visited. In our unit, there was a fully equipped kitchen and a large great room/dining room. All six of us were able to enjoy dinners together, and then retreat to the large outdoor space, both spaces with sweeping panoramas of OB and the Pacific Ocean. It's about a 3 or 4 block walk (a mild climb) to the main commercial district, so for those oy you who want to use Uber and avoid a car rental, it is very doable (which is what we did during our prior visit. The neighborhood is very quiet and totally residential within anblock or two of Newport and Sunset Cliffs. We look forward to staying again!
