A little dirty but great location

Overall the stay was okay. The walls have stains and dirt marks all over and there is a chair in the bedroom covered in stains which was not appealing. Something else I found unappealing was the cigarettes left out on the patio and an old hotdog we found left on one of the grills. The furniture in the living room is very uncomfortable but there are smart TVs to watch in both rooms and the WiFi works well. The kitchen is very well stocked in my opinion and the bathroom was clean. The location is excellent!

Great stay

Overall, we had a great stay! The house is on a quiet street but is still close to town. Everything worked well in the apartment except for the sliding door to the deck (it doesn’t lock). The main bed was really comfortable but the sofa bed wasn’t. We still really enjoyed the stay and would love to go back!

Prime location good comfort cute decor

Location is central, but not on a busy street. House is cute and interesting. The furniture was not the most comfortable. I wouldn't want to watch a whole movie from the couch. The fans in the house were broken, the shower door had been repaired in a way that prevented it from closing entirely. I think

Clean, comfortable, and cozy apartment

My husband and I enjoyed a comfortable stay at this cozy little apartment. The apartment is just a short walk to main shopping and dining area so it was convenient. The apartment itself is on the older side and there is no air conditioner (not abnormal for Catalina Island) but there was plenty of fans you can use. The shower door needs to be fixed as it doesn’t close properly and water can leak out. Some of the blinds needs to be fixed as well as they did not retract properly or stay open. Lastly the notes on the cabinets should probably be removed as they tell the renter they will be charged for any missing plates, cups, silverware and knives. It is tacky in my opinion to tell your renter this. When I asked the property host she told me not to pay attention to those signs. I would remove them if I was the host. The host was responsive and brought us soap when we asked for it. Overall we would stay here again.

Decent

The space was decent. The floors were dirty and the toilet was severely clogged the majority of our stay (we were only there for a weekend). We messaged the liaison about the clogged toilet the night we arrived and had to message again the next morning. In between these times, the toilet overflowed 3 times, no matter how much we plunged, and my poor partner had to clean up some really nasty messes. It was eventually fixed for the last 6-12 hours of our stay. Other than that nasty mess and the dirty floors, the stay was great

NYE in Catalina

My girlfriend and I loved staying here! It was the perfect size for 2 people. We loved having the grocery store less than a block away and being so centrally located. We spent 4 days here. A couple things to improve on would be that the shower door doesn’t close, the pillows and linens aren’t comfortable (they felt old), most of the coffee cups are chipped, and the TV doesn’t have Netflix or similar apps. It could use some updates. Other than that, everything else was a breeze. A special Thank you to our host Veronica who let us check out an hour later, so we didn’t have to lug our bags around town.
