Loved the Hobbit House! When we arrived the place was nice and clean for us. The only thing I would recommend being prepared for having a shared bathroom. It is spotless when you arrive and will remain that way throughout your stay, as long as the people in the other Airbnbs are respectful of the shared area as well. There is a grocery store in walking distance as well as a few restaurants. The beach and LAX were very close. Unfortunately, we didn't get to meet, but Helene was easy to communicate with and helpful. All in all, staying here was truly a great experience! Kind of like a unique (and cool) version of glamping! :)
