Carrick lives on the property within shouting distance of the yurt, and he was home when we arrived. The welcome and the intro to the yurt was brief and simple as he allowed us to settle in for ourselves, let us know he was available if needed . The yurt itself is just as described on the website and photos are accurate. The "glamping"description is apt ,The yurt is very well done, the bed quite cozy, the outdoor shower fun, fan for warm weather, coffee etc were all nice amenities. The yard really does offer a "natural "space feel with fruit trees and a relaxed , outdoor vibe. We followed the suggestions for dining found in the guest book and had two really great inexpensive meals at restaurant/ cafes within a ten minute drive of the property. The middle eastern food at Dune was excellent. Really enjoyed the stay at the yurt and found Carrick to be a friendly, available, welcoming, easygoing host. We would highly recommend the Yurt as a nice "alternative" rental option while in this part of LA.
