The studio was attached to the main house. The wall sepaately the two was extremely thin. The house was occupied with at least 6 people and it was so noisy and loud you'd think they were staying in the studio unit with us. Ahalf a roll of tp, no sponge or dish towel to wash dishes.
This was a great location for me. I came for my granddaughter’s graduation. It was a nice room. The host was kind and while I could hear the family through the wall ever so slightly at times, I found it reassuring as a solo traveler. Thank you for the hospitality!
Clean and nice kitchenette. Only 1 block from our son’s house in good neighborhood. We simply parked at his house overnight so we didn’t worry about street parking.
Despite having to find a place to stay because my son was having heart surgery, the cozy studio place I found helped make the experience much better than I’d imagined. It was clean, well-furnished, and secure enough to help me relax and get much-needed rest while going to and from the hospital. I would recommend this place to a friend or family member.
We got there and the walls are paper thin. You can here everyone and everything from the house the room is connected to. Awful bed and just overall a negative experience…
Amazing little gem in Costa Mesa. It is clean, efficient and quiet. Could not have asked for a better place to stay. There is a little efficiency kitchen & an awesome comfortable bed! Because the weather was on the cold side, they provide a space heater that kept the unit nice and warm. I will definitely stay there again!
Perfect, private, clean and quiet. The host was very attentive. The studio was well supplied and had everything I needed. I enjoyed my stay!

Cute, but not for cold weather.
My wife and I had planned on staying for the weekend. On arrival, it was raining, windy and very cold. A window was left open since the last guest & the room temp was in the 40's. We closed the window, found a space heater, plugged it in, but would have taken hours to overcome the cold. We looked inside the wardrobe for extra blankets, found none, we did find two pillows, two wash cloths, two hand towels and two bath towels. We called the owner who said the window had been left open due to “Covid” regulations and were told to “Plug in the heater”. She said that her husband would be by with extra blankets, towels, and look at the heater. We had an event that evening, so we left assured that when we returned there would be heat. We did text with the owner several times that afternoon and we came to the conclusion that nothing would be resolved in time to warm up the room, so at 7:23 pm we texted the owner and let them know we had made other plans. We finally received a text back at 10:16 pm, and were told that they had replaced the space heater, and that extra blankets and towels were in the wardrobe. We returned in the morning to retrieve our belongings, found that the space heater had been replaced, but not plugged in. No extra blankets or towels were provided, and the room was just as cold as the day before. I guess we made the right decission to stay elsewhere. It is the hosts responsibility to make the guest feel welcome, and the unit be warm, that simply did not happen.
We really enjoyed our 4 days there. It was easy to find and very clean and quiet. We were gone all day and usually didn’t get home till 10 at night. It was a perfect location for Huntington and Newport Beach. We would stay there again.
The studio is located on the side of a house with its own entrance in a quiet neighborhood on a dead end street with parking on the street right in front.
In a good location with a short drive to the beach or nearby shopping and restaurants.
I stayed at this property for four weeks in April-May, 2022. I was in town for work and to relocate, and the place worked well for what I was trying to do.
This is a garage apartment of a single family home. It has its own entrance through the side gate of the property. It is essentially a small studio. You have a queen bed, wardrobe, small two person table and one arm chair. It worked well for me as one person during the course of my stay. I was out of the place most days working. For two people, it would be a little tight for an extended stay. For a short stay, I think it would be fine.
There is a television in the main room. It is not connected to any cable or anything. If you wish to use it, bring your own Roku or Firestick and connect to the internet, and it works well (Don't forget to retrieve your device at the end of your stay).
Small kitchen with stove and small refrigerator. Worked fine for me during my stay. Sink is a little small for washing dishes, but I got it to work.
Bathroom is a little tight, as the sink is also small. Shower is nice, good size, and works well. They had a supply of soap and shampoo in the bathroom. Also had an adequate supply of towels and washcloths.
There is no laundry to use on-site. There are laundromats in the area. I found the one down on Placentia to be the most cost effective.
Parking was good. This house is located down on a dead end street. So it is pretty quiet. Throughout Costa Mesa, there are many streets where parking is super tight. On this street, however, since it is located with primarily single family homes and away from the more major streets, street parking seems to be plentiful. I generally found a spot right in front of the house near the gate to the apartment.
The owners installed an air conditioning unit during my stay. I generally didn't have to use it, but it would come in handy on a hot day. It seemed to work well when I did turn it on. Most of the time, I just left the windows open, and it was quite comfortable.

Lovely property! Incredibly efficient design and comfortable fittings. Totally private. Great communication from the owners. I will definitely be staying here again!

Overall 4 Stars
My stay was very good. Quiet residential neighborhood. Private entrance on the opposite side of the house from the owner’s. Very clean and modern kitchen and bath. The bedroom interiors were adequate. I would have liked more comfortable mattress, linens, pillows and bath towels. There was a musty smell despite the windows being open. I believe a new mattress and box spring and might fix that and removing an old upholstered chair. The owners were great. Extremely helpful and accommodating. The walls between the apt and the owners residence may not be insulated against noise as I could hear the family especially on the weekend. Location is close to Newport Beach and very close to Taco Maria- the LA Times 2018 Restaurant of the Year. With just a few improvements this could be a 5 star rated location.

Just what I was looking for
This was a great little place conveniently located near the OC Marathon finish line where I was working for the weekend. I agree with the previous review that the walls were thin - it was a little noisy for me but a pair of ear plugs would fix that. The location was nice and convenient. The owners were helpful and friendly. Parking was easy and close.
The place was clean, the bed comfortable enough, and it had almost everything I needed. If you really need tv, I would check with the owners first, there didn't seem to be anything but an antenna which picked up 2-3 stations. No biggie for me but I know some people are into that. I did wish there were more outlets - especially one near the bed to charge a phone or ipad - I used the kitchen.
All in all a good experience :)

Cute and clean
This condo had everything we needed. My husband and I were in town for business so we didn’t spend a lot of time in the condo. Definitely only big enough for two. The walls seemed a little thin but it was in a great area and convenient distance from everything.
