The Airbnb host was a gem and a great communicator immediately. It was unreal opening the barn doors every morning to feel the breeze while I lounged in bed.
That being said, there are a few things to consider if you're thinking of booking a trip here! The overall cleanliness was a huge issue for me. It is a barn after all so some cobwebs are to be expected. But small things like the provided drinking clear plastic cups are browning/stained, all the dishware looks ancient/heavily used, the shower outside has dirt all over the provided soaps and shampoos, and the shower inside the barn has calcium staining all over the wooden bench. Just to list a couple examples.
The photos also make it seem a little more secluded than it actually is. There is another Airbnb Yurt right besides you (about 15ft away), that you share the outdoor shower with. Along with a very busy street with neighbors who are a little loud at night and during the afternoon. I know this is definitely out of the host's control, but something to consider if you're looking for a quiet, private retreat. (it's Los Angeles after all!)
These are just some things I wish I'd known before booking this spot. It is charming Airbnb, however the cleanliness, lack of privacy, and noise would make me second guess booking again. If these things don't bother you, it really is a unique experience, the open doors and patio might make it worth it for ya!
