Melissa and her family were very kind and communication was quick and easy. Melissa even allowed me to check in early. That being said, there are a few things about this rental that were unclear in the listing. Like others mentioned, the tent and furnishings inside are older than they appear and not as modern and “glamp-y” as the listing shows. Though the bed was super comfortable. Additionally, there’s nearly constant noise from a small local airport just blocks away, and the large jets throttling down on their approach to LAX. The backyard is also shared with other airbnb renters, so there are other strangers coming and going at late hours (3am). This wasn’t clear in the listing and made it difficult to sleep comfortably. It was fairly disconcerting to have other people lingering around outside of your tent or smoking in the yard. Finally, the bathroom is used by other guests and the whole family, so showers feel rushed and the bathroom could be cleaner and less cluttered. Not to mention it was a bit odd walking through the family’s activities to go to the bathroom or shower. Perhaps to many this wouldn’t be a concern, but I found it to be uncomfortable and unclear in the listing. This rental wasn’t for me and wasn’t as comfortable as other glamping experiences.
