"All Good ✅"

MainStay Suites John Wayne Airport by Choice Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly and helpful staff at check in and throughout our stay; traveled as a group of four and had four separate rooms for a 2 night stay. The rooms were huge!! Loved that the rooms had a micro, fridge, dishes if u Needed it, coffee maker, a separate sitting area, two tvs, a couch, in room safe. Outdoor heated pool and hot tub! Separate lounge area with umbrellas and a fire pit. Air Conditioning was perfect. The entire area was secure only way to access the property was with your room key. Parking was tight but sufficient. The breakfast in the morning was great! Cold cereal, orange juice, and/or breakfast freshly made: 2 pancakes, sausage, potatoes and eggs! The coffee was just ok…..no flavored creamer. You had the choice of dining in the breakfast area or taking it to go :). Mexican restaurant “Spoons” walking distance great food n drinks. Mobil gas station within walking distance as well for late night snacks and such. Not too far from Disneyland. Overall I would stay here again!"

Charming 2-bedroom house 20 Minutes From Disneyland

10/10 Excellent

"Cesar was an amazing host and accommodating throughout the duration of our stay, always responding to questions and messages in a timely manner.The location of the property is also exceptional, with various stores and restaurants within the vicinity. We found the title of the listing appropriate, as it was a charming and intimate home that was stocked with all essentials. The listing and photos provided were accurate to what we experienced.Me and my family had booked our stay due to our house getting fumigated and our stay felt like a “home away from home”. I’d highly recommend anyone that is looking for a pet-friendly accommodation to stay here!"

Splendorous Style 2B1B Home Near Disneyland

8/10 Good

"This second-floor apartment is in a delightful old building within easy walking distance to downtown Santa Ana. Great for folks who can handle stairs easily. The decor is lovely and includes amazing paintings by the owner as well as an interesting selection of books. Beds are very comfortable and air-conditioning works well. The bathroom has been remodeled with high-end finishes. The patio is furnished nicely and even has shades.Because the building is older (probably built mid-20th century), electric outlets are limited, so guests might want to bring multi-plug surge protectors. We gave the place a 4 for cleanliness because the first thing we saw inside the door was a dirty dusting rag. Also, I spilled a bit of water on the bathroom floor, and the paper towel I used to wipe it up turned brown, like the floor hadn't been mopped. But the place was very tidy and uncluttered.The one major concern was that the iron railing along the very steep, tiled, outside staircase was very rickety. It wobbled like it would give way if anyone leaned on it. We were traveling with fit young adults, who didn't need to hold onto the rail - if we'd been traveling with older folks or anyone who needs the security of a railing, this would have been a disaster. The front door landing is tight, and if more than one or two people are standing on it, it feels like you could fall 20 feet to the concrete. I hope that this gets fixed, as it's otherwise a delightful place."
