Either way please hand lock the handles of each door as well as the electronic lock digitally. Once you have left please text me so I can let the cleaning folks know itâs all clear. Safe travels!
The host is a very kind person, but there were some things with this stay that in my opinion and my coworkers that stayed with me that were just inexcusable. There were roaches, an insane amount of them and it freaked my coworkers out and woke them up in the middle of the night because they were surrounding all their belongings and apparently there were mice as well. I donât think this air bnb shouldâve been open for people to stay at with the infestation of these bugs and rodents. You could get a modern stay for the same price as this listing, but without the health hazards. Like I said, the owner was a kind man, offering his apartment he lives at the others, his communication was great as well. But it wasnât as clean as a hotel or a normal Vrbo stay would be. Plus the ac situation in my opinion was kind of rough, with the back guest room getting the hottest throughout the day even when following his advice with keeping it cool by opening windows at night and what not. The heat plus the roaches, and minimally clean environment really added up and made everyone fed up with the whole experience, after traveling for hours and being met with the quality of this home was not something Iâd ever put myself or my coworkers in a position like this again. Luckily, we werenât at this property too often cus we were out busy doing stuff, but if we were more home bodyâs during this stay it wouldâve been a much worse experienceâŠ
Host is super nice but the place is outdated. Bad odor smell, no AC super hot we couldnât stay in during the day for rest because it too hot and power went out for half a day. Kill a lot of roach
We needed a place to stay so we could be at our daughterâs graduation. This apartment was the closest we found. We were able to get to her in 15 minutes by car which made things very easy. Eric great about being in contact. He had a very nice assistant work with us as we arrived. Our flight was terribly delayed, and he stuck with us with kindness. Everything was clean. Excellent instructions easily found. Wonderful artwork and posters. Didnât use kitchen except for fridge; however, easily could have. Plenty of things available if needed. Coffee, tea, sugar, etc. Showers were good temperatures with good water pressure. Shampoo, conditioner, new bar of soap. Plenty of towels. The beds were wonderful. The mattress in the main bedroom. We slept like rocks! Exactly what we needed. TVs in both bedrooms and living room. We never turned them on soâŠThe apartment was surprisingly dark; however we were mostly out of the building. There are a lot of security measures (4 locks), parking garage access, etc. We are used to having AC; however, there are fans everywhere, and we opened the windows and patio doors, and the apartment cooled down very fast.
Great place close to Angels stadium, Newport beach, Huntington Beach and more!!!
This was the perfect spot for our group of 6. It had everything we needed. 2 bedrooms that are very comfortable. Spacious living room with couches and TV. Kitchen with everything we needed if we had cooked. Close to all the beaches we wanted to see. Close to stadium and to Disneyland. This was the perfect spot for us. The pool looked very nice. We didn't have time to swim.
Do Not Stay Here - We Left The Second We Showed Up
I am not one to give negative reviews. I usually leave it alone, but this property should not be listed on VRBO. It is not safe and feels more like a prison (trust me, Iâm in the legal profession). Iâm pretty sure the owner lives in the property and when it gets rented out he stays off site somewhere else. We were at Disneyland and figured it would be a close location to spend the night. We met the owner who let us into the parking garage that has no way out or in unless you have a physical opener. The property is located near old town Santa Ana. There were many homeless people around, including one who was dumpster diving in the âsecluded garageâ while we were briefly there.After letting us into the garage, the owner took me into the elevator that led to the property. It was hard not to notice the bullet holes in the windows leading to the elevator. From there, we went to the second floor and had to open two closed doors with a key. Finally arriving at the apartment itself, we were let in. The pictures of the property have been cleaned up to look nicer than it is. There is dust and grime everywhere, it hasnât been cleaned in generations it seems.We are not a well off family, but even my children refused to sleep on the beds when we walked in, and the overwhelming sense of not being safe led us to immediately decide to not stay the night there. If this review would let me, Iâd keep going, but Iâm out of space. In short - do not stay here.
The property was ok for the price we paid, the owner and helper were nice and communicated at all time. My only concern is that there was no AC/Heater I had to go my way and purchase a new one for the place since it was during December when it super cold. In addition we all had to use one bathroom to shower as the guest bathroom was in very poor condition with the shower. The masters shower worked but the water barely came out. Other than that it is a cozy place if your staying for couple of nights but not for a entire vacation.
The check in process was ok but we had to coordinate with an outside person to access the property and waiting for him took about 30 minutes of just sitting and not knowing who we were looking for. Entering into the condo had red flags all along the way: stained, mildewed carpet all along the hall. lar VRBO stays. More specifically, there was an uncomfortable amount of personal effects (excess gadgets, toiletries, food, appliances, collectibles, etc) that belonged to the owner rather than our past VRBO experiences where the rental home was more of a hotel environment. If you want the feeling of staying with a random, distanced relative then you will feel comfortable. For our family, it was very uncomfotable to walk into a home filled with the owner's family pictures on all the walls, every condiment/appliance they own on the already small, crowded counter tops in the oards throughout the house had noticeable gaps and weren't laid properly, so your shoe would catch on them when you walked. There was an odd smell of animal urine/alcohol or some other strong cooking spices that were quite overwhelming. In the master bathroom, something (mold/ decay) was hanging from the shower ceiling. The beds, while made, were lumpy and uninviting. The beds, kitchen, flooring, and overall appearance were dated and felt more like we were staying with a relative rather than a sterile hotel. We realize that is precisely why many people prefer the VRBO experience, but it overall wasn't for us.
There was bullet holes in the garage area. The condo is very old and not in the nicest area of Santa Ana. We didnât feel safe. The inside of the condo was laid out nicely. But the bad outweighed the good unfortunately This was probably the worst property Iâve stayed in and Iâm a regular customer of VRBO
This condo worked well for us for our trip to Disney. Spacious and clean and about 20 minutes away from the park. Did not spend too much time at the property, but there is a nice looking pool and it was quiet and peaceful sitting on the balcony.
We found this nice spot to stay while we were in town, close to many beaches and amusement parks. The lodging was comfy and inviting and the host was easy to work with. Would recommend and return next time weâre in town.
The listing says it will sleep six and that thereâs a futon. There is no futon. Two people have to sleep on the sofa and as long as theyâre children, the sofa works I suppose. There mustâve been a dead rodent of some kind while we were staying there and the smell was pretty unbearable by the time we left. I think he tried really hard but our experience just wasnât that great.
We really enjoyed staying at this home. the host was fantastic to work with, he met us at a time that worked with our schedule to check in and show us where to park as well as showed us his home. It was perfect for 6 people. The parking is in a locked garage. The host has lots of fans to help cool the house if needed. It was a great experience!
We had 6 people ranging from adults to a 4 year old. Due to the heights of our group members we got a little creative with who was sleeping where, ending with 2 on the couch. The kitchen is as pictured and worked for our needs. Owner was very responsive and easy to work with. Overall enjoyed our stay.
We made the trip to Santa Ana to be near Anaheim for VidCon 2024. Our group was two women and two 13 year olds. The condo was big enough for us to fit comfortably and the small lovers kitchen was stocked enough to prepare and store our meals for the few days. Proâs:
The host was very friendly and communicated well. His property manager was also very responsive to texts and we were able to check in quickly.
The condo had enough space for us to move comfortably and hang out without being on top of each other.
It is centrally located in downtown Santa Ana so there are several things close within walking distance of you choose.
Parking is secured underground and through a gate.
Conâs:
The condo complex leaves something to be desired. The grounds arenât as clean or maintained as they could be, but this is nothing the host is responsible for. During our 3 night stay, fireworks were shot off constantly from about 7:30 pm until midnight or so. There was also the occasional domestic arguments that could be over heard. The pool are does not have any seating, so if you chose to bring your kids or you want to lounge be prepared to bring your own seat. And the community hot tub was more like a Luke warm tub. Again, not the hostâs fault at all, just some observations. If I had been traveling only with my husband or another group of adults these would have been a non issue. There is no central air, it gets very very hot. Be prepared to sweat during the summer even with the fans going.
The property was not as described in the posting at all. It was dirty and had a very bad odor. Full of pet hair and when spoke to the owner he didnât deny having pets there but insisted that it was âprofessionally cleanedâ my wife had an allergic reaction and my 3 year old was terrified of the apartment. We did not stay there and went and checked into a hotel. Spoke to VRBO about a refund and sent pictures of the place and they agreed that it was very dirty and promised a refund keeping fingers crossed. The owner was very rude when we informed of the condition of the property and immediately got defensive and demanded photos which were sent to VRBO.
Owner is fabulous! Was very easy to get in touch with and responses were immediate! Parking was our biggest concern, only one space per condo, our party had two cars. It worked out ok parking on the street but was worrisome.
