My bf & I enjoyed staying here, the air bnb was clean and comfortable. All the appliances worked great, we sat on the deck chairs a lot and enjoyed the view. It was private and secure, it’s behind a gate with private code and then another code on the unit door to get into the apartment. We used most of the appliances including the grille which worked well. Just note there is nothing provided in the air bnb so you have to buy everything ie: cooking spray, condiments, ground coffee, etc. There is a small Target and Cvs nearby. It’s in a residential area which was nice, it was quiet we didn’t hear much noise. You do see the neighbors occasionally but they keep to themselves. There are air planes flying overhead but you get used to them quickly. It’s located in a centralized area, close to Newport Ave, the beach and other restaurant areas. I would recommend going to the beach directly on the air bnbs street. We found it to be cleaner and less crowded. However the beach isn’t that nice in general. If you’re looking for a nice beach I wouldn’t stay in OB. Swarms of flies everywhere it’s pretty disturbing. You also do see a lot of homeless people on Newport ave and the beach so if you’re looking for an upscale place to vacation OB is not for you. There’s a street fair with food and goods on Wednesday night on Newport ave which was fun. They had good boba and bao buns. Overall the air bnb itself was nice and in a good location if I ever returned to OB I would stay here again.
