This was a very mixed experience.
Pros: The spa pool combo is as good as everyone says it is. Just a wonderful, warm place where you can actually do some swim strokes across if you're short like me, and enjoy warm chill out relaxation if you aren't. This is the main reason we booked it and are so glad we did despite the following 😂
Communication and check in are awesome and easy!
Cons:
First thing's first - the description says this is a couch bed, and it is. It's the one from IKEA that is the kind you have when you first move out on your own but want to have friends over. It's opened in a "puzzle" way, meaning no matter which direction you sleep you *will* sleep over gaps and lines that piece the couch together. When we went, there was no "pad," or there was a thicker blanket, but that blanket had hair and dried stains so we didn't want to use it as a pad. If it was used as a pad, there would be no blanket (we had our own luckily, as we didn't want to use it as either due to the hair.)
This place is in a pretty big flight path. Between 6:30am and 6:58am I stopped counting when I got to ten planes that went directly overhead. They are not "around" the house, they are directly overhead, and you will enjoy watching them from the spa pool if you enjoy planes like I do!
My midnight visitors were a baby cockroach and a long legged spider. The shower was so hard to figure out (it turns out, because it is loose from the wall, you have to hold it closer to the wall and turn it, fyi 😍) I think this is normal because it's a beautiful and relaxing outdoor area, and in Socal visitors like this can be unavoidable, but if you get the heebie jeebies I want you to know in advance.
Overall, I would say it would be so cool if there was a regular bed in there, despite taking up the whole room, it would be worth it. The airbnb is expensive for what you get, but it's private, feels secure, comes with parking, and the spa pool is awesome. If you're in a pinch, it's not bad at all.
