This is difficult to write. I love Airbnb and have had, up until this stay fantastic hosts.
The tent is lovely inside. The bedding is clean and abundant.
The tent is located 3 flights up and around the house with a fantastic view of the city.
It never rains in CA but if it does u may get a bit wet. I never gave that thought before arrival. But it didn't rain either. The fringe is vintage and a little rusty but it was cold enough. Apparently LA has a helicopter noise problem. There were many helicopter 's through the night. None of these things were what would have deterred me from staying as I wanted an outdoor experience.( I could have done with fewer helicopters )
This stay was just not pleasant on other levels.
I appreciated knowing the house rules. My brain just couldn't always remember them all. The refrigerator in the house has a bolted bike lock. It just felt strange and I feel badly that every time the owner needs to use the fridge they need a key. I can't imagine living that way and it really left me feeling creepy.
The jacuzzi room was rented so understandable no access. There is access to the deck where the tent is located however, even when that location is rented,
As you have no way to secure your belongings be advised of that.
Parking is on a very typical Hollywood hill street. After talking my host, she did move her car so that 2 cars could park in front of the property. It was just challenging for a person unaccustomed to narrow curvy road parking.
Finally, I left abruptly after hearing a very personal conversation that sounded as if it were coming from the patio you must go through to get into the house and to leave. I have no way of knowing who was having this conversation. I DO NOT KNOW WHO THE 2 people were. I know I did not feel safe. It is unfortunate . It may have taken place at someone else property. It did not sound far away. It took place in the middle of the night. It's a beautiful community! The house is clean and the pictures represent it well.
My host and Airbnb were very understanding.
