We loved the hobbit house! Communication with our hosts about arriving after dark from our art gallery event in Santa Monica was smooth! Our self-check-in was easy as we were able to walk through the gate toward the back and locate our key (we walked very quietly as to not disturb the other Airbnb guests on-site sleeping). The check-in details and amenities description is very thorough and made our arrival easy!
The room itself was comfortable, clean, and definitely unique. There are plenty of pillows, rolled-up towels, and beach flipflops (we weren't able to use them but it was a nice). There are large velvety blankets hanging from the windows that can be untied as curtains. There is also a fire extinguisher next to the front door which I appreciated seeing for our safety.
We left around 5:40 am the very next day so leaving the key where we found it made our departure smooth. We would have loved to stay and see the circle during the day and to relax near the deck but we both had to be to work early. I am sure we would have enjoyed it, so if you plan on staying here definetly try to stay for longer than we did and truly experience the circle! = )
