I was surprised when I walked in, the place was partially updated and very nice. The cleaning crew, if there was one, did not do a great job. The toilet was nasty, there was a red solo cup with left over liquid and a lime left on the kitchen sink. The shower most certainly was not cleaned, looks like it was sprayed and rinsed. The bed was very hard. If you have bad knees, beware, the toilet is very low. The family that was above us literally shook the hanging light in the kitchen from the kids running and jumping, plus the noise.
Positives!! The location is fantastic and the place was updated/decorated nicely. I love north OC, so balancing the pros and cons, I would definitely rent again. I got used to the hard bed and cleaned before my 4 year old son started exploring the unit. Grace at the realtors office was fantastic!! Nothing worse than dealing with a grumpy mean realtor!
Remember, it's the beach and we are renters, not owners, can't have it your way all the time. Hopefully next year I will be able to increase my stars and give it a 5!!
