Great location. Very comfortable bed and cozy accommodation
This property is fantastic. I would suggest a shower head that comes off the wall so guests could rinse down the walls. The shower head should also be a little higher. My husband is 6feet and found it just a little difficult to get washed.

The property was very clean and in a great location. The only concerns I had were: 1. No AC or cross ventilation. Fans just moved the warm air. 2. No desk in unit. This was business trip & it was difficult to use computer without desk.

Great location and neighborhood for enjoying the local culture with great hosts.
My husband and teen son were there for four nights. My husband is very picky and he loved the space. It was clean and had everything they needed and more. Host was always responsive with our questions and both husband and son had a great time.

Lovely and cozy studio
The studio is super-clean and beautifully decorated, as pictured and describe. The details are so well planned - we were in town for a wedding, and we appreciated having a full mirror, iron and ironing board, and lots of hangers and room in the closet, plus bottled water and snacks on the coffee table when we arrived. The location is wonderful with close access to great dining and the beach. Our hosts were very kind to us when we got turned around on our way in. The studio was quiet for the most part, and the bed was very comfortable. It was extremely hot while we were there, so we appreciated having an extra fan we could bring out at night, as there is no air conditioning. I would definitely return.

Long distance partner reunion
Queer platonic partner flew and we had a spectacular stay. Easy parking, lots to do in walking distance. Good quiet neighborhood. Safe space for lgbtq partners to spend a weekend.

Clean studio, good location
The property was as described in the listing. Property manager was very helpful. She notified us that the unit was available for early check-in and she reached out twice during our stay to ask if we needed anything. I would definitely considering staying here again. Great location—short walk to the beach and several stores and restaurants.

We traveled to attend a celebration of life for family. We felt very comforted and at peace in this great little place. We found ourselves saying okay let's go home at the end of each day out and about.

Studio without a kitchen.
Colleen is very helpful and lives on the property. Despite not having a stove, it is not difficult to just use a micro oven to heat up local cuisine. There are lots of options for meals prepped and sold at Mother’s Market or Zinc Cafe just to name a few. I would stay there again My visit was 4 days.

A wonderful getaway
Our stay at this Corona del Mar studio was wonderful! It truly is in the best location possible. Walkable to restaurants and cafes and the beach! We would wake up grab breakfast at the French cafe and then walk to the beach. We also brought our car and there was always parking available right by the entrance to the studio. Couldn’t have picked a better spot to celebrate my husband’s 40th.
