The room was actually really nice, and exactly as described. But being in Glendale and not by the beach, it should disclose the lack of air conditioning. It was hot! It's also a room added on to the back of a garage and we felt like we needed to walk through open windows of another back house, laundry being folded in the garage. A bit awkward and too close to the family/others. Not very private. This should be mentioned in the listing as opposed to a "spacious house" Very misleading. But again, the actual room was nice, as well as quiet and private once you were in it.

The cell phone used by the host was incorrect and as a result I was not able to confirm the room and check-in procedures until close to 10pm which was stressful and a first for me on Airbnb. There was an email sent to me an hour or two after reservation but it went to spam and because a cell was provided I did not thing to comb through spam to look for their communication. Very frustrating and stressful; the host needs to update the cell or figure out a way to achieve acceptable communications w their guests.

The host also required that I come to the front door so that they could meet me and see who they were renting to, and get the key. This is understandable and not a big deal per say, but far from normal from my many other Airbnb experiences. My girlfriend and I felt awkward ringing the doorbell at 10pm to get a key. Again, not a big deal but this requirement should definitely be mentioned in the listing.
