In the north of Santa Ana, this apartment is the ideal bolthole for a couple or solo traveller looking to discover everything on the doorstep. It’s a two-minute walk to West 17th Street where shops and restaurants line the street and a four-minute drive or twenty-minute walk into the heart of Downtown Santa Ana. Alternatively, sprinkle a little fairy dust on your stay with a visit to Disneyland, a ten-minute drive away, hit the surf at the breathtaking beaches that Orange County's stunning coastline, within a half-hour drive, or seek out another side of LA's movie magic and head into Hollywood 37 miles north-west. Back inside, dark hardwood floors and white walls combine to create a striking space. The open kitchen and living room has a sunny breakfast table surrounded by corner windows and a granite breakfast bar for your morning cup of joe. A wooden box of toys and games lets you know this place is kid-friendly and we were particularly impressed with the little extras included in the kitchen. The bonus is a little balcony overlooking the street, dotted with fairy lights and furnished with a bistro table and rattan sofa.
