    I didn't know that I would be staying with a family. I didn't have a problem with it, but it took me by surprise. They were very nice.

    Convenient location

    The room hadn’t been vacuumed and didn’t feel freshly cleaned, as there was quite a bit of dust bunnies and dirt on the floor. With having a shared bath, it felt a little cluttered and crowded.

    Great location and easy access with excellent hosts

    We had a hard time entering the house.

    Host was accomodating. Feels like home away from home. Too bad our stay was too short.

    While there are two bathrooms, one feels like the kids bathroom and the other felt more comfortable to me. I wanted to wait for the main bathroom, simply because I felt it was more inviting to me, but I felt a little pressured to use the other one when asked if it was open, which it was.

    Tho and her family are quite accustomed to having homestay guests and as a result made us feel quite at home. She was there to greet us when we arrived and stepped us through setting up the door entry and answered our questions. The beds were comfortable too!

    Communal living within easy reach of attractions hosted by wonderful, generous family.

    When I rented this room I did not realize what a "homestay" is. I did not realize I was renting a bedroom in someone's private home and would be sharing a living space, kitchen, and bathrooms with the owners of the home as well as other guests. I would liken this situation to that of a hostel rather than a hotel room or guest cottage. Having said that, I don't think you could ask for a nicer communal living situation.

    Tho and Rowan are really wonderful and welcoming people! Generous, helpful, and interesting to talk to, they work hard to provide a good experience for their guests. You immediately feel like you are part of the family. They were very available to answer questions about the area and even loaned my son a pair of shorts out of their own closet.

    The host Tho is a warm and kind person, she cared about how guest feels and generously gave a lot of useful recommendation for my trip. The location is great, there are several restaurants nearby, and the neighborhood is safe and quiet. They are welcoming and the facilities are complete. Definitely recommended :)

    Thow was such a graceful host. She and her family create a very welcoming atmosphere that is peaceful and relaxing but everyone is also warm and chatty if you are up for that too. They more tallan accommodated me in my stay. I have been in several nice stays like this before but have never felt as much at home as I did staying with here! 5/5 recommend

    During booking, I thought I would have my own bathroom but I did not. It turned out OK because they had 2 bathrooms and I never had to wait to use it.

    I was very pleased with this property. The host was very accommodating and helpful with suggestions for dining and attractions. My privacy was respected and we only interacted when I initiated it. There were 2 teenage boys but they were very well behaved and one of them is exceptional on the piano. The location was ideal. Very close to Newport Beach, Huntington Beach and the Balboa Peninsula. The room was very comfy and I had 2 beds to choose from. One was firm and the other was medium, I chose the firm bed. Wifi was great. They have a nice backyard for sunning and relaxation with a picnic table. I would definitely stay here again!

    The person in charge of the house did not tell us at the time of arrival that my wife and I will have to share the huse with a bunch of people. We have no privacy, the house was hot as well as our room, no A/C so we did not sleep in the house. I end up spending $180.00 for a hotel room so we can sleep in peace.

    Nice house but way to many people inside the property

    It was a bit of a walk to the nearest bus stop. But nothing extravagantly far.

    The home was very warm and welcoming. The room that I stayed in was festive, colorful and more than adequate for a solo traveler or a couple.
