The Magic Barn is a cozy and charming space and is within walking distance of two great streets/neighborhoods to explore; Hawthorne and Division. It's situated behind the main house through a gate which helps to eliminate some car noise from the main street, Cesar Chavez. However, if you're a light sleeper like me, you might want to bring ear plugs because street noise is a constant. The bed is comfortable and the fire place is lovely. The couch was a bit too soft to sit in comfortably and the water temperature for the shower could be a few degrees hotter. Overall I enjoyed my stay and Hobie was helpful when I requested a few additional things needed for the kitchen. The outdoor sculptures are an added delight.
