Raja and family are welcoming and the door is always open.
The room is bit. Cracks and dings on the walls are poorly patched up. No screen on the window. Spider nets and dust throughout.
Main issue is the noise. I came to lay my head down, not to witness internal arguments until 11pm. That made me anxious and not knowing what to do. The neighbor next door/wall ( another Airbnb guest or family member) was making noise ( loudly talking on the phone, watching videos, laughing, sneezing and coughing until 2am), that also prevented me from resting.
I don’t know what is the built of the room and how it’s not connected ac/heater wise to the rest of the house, but I got super cold even under two blankets.
Of course, for the price I didn’t expect much. But common curtesy like not making your guests witnessing the internal arguments is expected. I know that the host probably don’t have control over the other guests, but I would appreciate the notation or clear description that there are possible interactions with other Airbnb guests. That made my stay miserable, I didn’t get any rest, I got more tired and felt misled by the description.

10-15 min by car to the LAX if no traffic.
