I rented the "Mermaid Lounge" to get out of LA for a few days during a heatwave. Sunshine was very responsive and even made an allowance for me to bring my dog when she usually doesn't allow pets -- for which I was very grateful. She had mentioned that the staircase to the upstairs sleeping space was steep and that it might be difficult for the dog to get up the stairs. As my dog is small, it didn't seem an issue -- that I could carry him. When I arrived, I discovered that the unit is a very small, makeshift unit on the side of her house, with a rickety sliding door for entry. The stairs to the loft are some kind of contraption, very steep, requiring you to use both arms to get up and especially down them. There was no way I could carry my dog up and down without risking both of us. Even without a dog, I caution against it, especially if you've had a few drinks, and especially if you need to pee in the middle of the night. Not wanting to sleep upstairs with my dog downstairs as he might bark, I slept on the foldout couch downstairs. The couch was extremely uncomfortable. When I slept on the sitting part of the couch, it was just hard. But when I moved onto the upright portion of the couch when folded down, it felt like I had a rod in my back. Sunshine also asked for entry to the unit while I was staying there. I left the rental a night early, feeling fairly ripped off. The place is reasonably priced but should cost even less given the very small space and the issue with the staircase. Upon leaving the unit, communication with Sunshine became very poor.
