    The house was very spacious and suitable for 4 people. Even though 2 sleep on the couch there is still a table for 4 which is something we haven't seen often in similar accommodations.

    Renters on site living in front apt, which was separated nicely. We approached them on arrival to make sure we parked in a legit spot. At that time, multiple large dogs were barking on arrival and we were when assured that they would not bother our dog during our stay. Later when we returned at about 5pm, to check in for the night, at least three dogs were in the yard when we opened the gate, which ran at us. Carrying my bags, I was unable to close the gate fully and a German Shephard busted thru at our leashed dog, bit him on the back, and shook him multiple times. When it finally let go, he chased him thru the yard in under our vehicle. It was a bit traumatic but in the end no one was hurt enough to need medical attention...just shaken. The person on site did not come out until we rang the doorbell to let them know. They said the dogs were stray rescues and that they wouldn't bite or attack. They were very apologetic and concerned and checked on us multiple times which was appreciated, and I realize I could have called to say we were returning but in most homes we stay in, this is not a problem and we come and go without notification using only a code or key. It was unexpected that dogs were in our shared space, and I really dont think It should not have been necessary to call ahead. Shower water was very very hot, was difficult to control the temp the whole time. My shower 30 min later was mostly cold but was afraid to turn the spigot all the way to hot after being warned. It was small, so unable to adjust before getting in with water shooting out in the floor.

    Plenty of space, decorated nicely inside and out, very comfortable, host graciously allowed us to park our trailer on premises early to avoid having to take it sightseeing. There was plenty of parking on side streets and area was quiet and on less busy streets. Amenities were plentiful, as were snacks and daily use items...had everything you could need and more.

    Amazing location with a clear attention to detail. All amenities were present, self-check-in was very convenient. We spent our night gazing at the stars in the backyard hammocks and I would recommend any future visitor to do the same!

    The property is fantastic. Well connected to Joshua Tree national park for hiking and other activities. The property is well furnished and the rooms are large. Well equipped with kitchen equipment, sofa and tv and a large comfy bed. The shower is good and bathroom has adequate space. The property comes with a large garden and other amenities. Perfect for watching the stars at night. The hosts are lovely and very responsive. Couldn’t fault anything whatsoever.

    The hosts had really spent a lot of time and effort on the finishing touches of the property. It was really clean and well decorated and furnished, with lovely little extras such as chocolates dotted about and popcorn and snacks and offer of a free movie on them. Outdoor space was lovely, a highlight was watching the hummingbirds feeding off the feeder. Lovely.

    We didn’t know that it was an attached property, but it wasn’t a deal breaker, and we didn’t feel intruded on at all.

    Great yard with hammocks and a fire pit, they gave us privacy, the place was clean, water and snacks, shampoo and conditioner.

    The only thing which was not the best, is the extremely small sink in the bathroom, you cannot properly use it if you want to brush your teeth or wash your face. Also, the shower cabin needs refurbishment.

    Spacious accommodation in a good location. You can even grill some food (which we did) and really enjoyed it! The host left some snacks which is a very nice gesture. All in all, a lovely place if you plan to visit Joshua Tree national park.

    Only negative (not really) is that the shower head has a leak and seems water is wasted going straight down instead of through shower head but pressure was good still

    I had to clean the toilet before using it. I have never seen such a dirty Airbnb in my life. There was a lot of hair in the shower, the towels and bed sheets were covered in fur, and the fridge was stuck with old food. To make matters worse, there was a cockroach in the kitchen. I have attached a couple of pictures.

    It has a good location, but unfortunately, the entire apartment was extremely dirty, as if it hadn’t been cleaned for months.
