We had a wonderful time in Bruce's studio. The place is very secluded and private in Malibu canyon, just a short drive from the pier and tons of good restaurants. There are so many good places to hike. Bruce was very warm and so genuinely nice, he always made sure we had everything we needed. His dog Louie is super cute and friendly as well! I am still enjoying the delicious oranges Bruce let me take home which he grows in his back yard. The bed is comfy and the place is actually nicer than the photos I think! You have a full size fridge, microwave and toaster oven for leftovers. He checks in with you when you are leaving to make sure you have literally everything you could need--which was really nice! This is such a great deal for the price and we really enjoyed our stay. You are about a 25 -30 minute drive from Santa Monica, about 1 hour from the getty museum and about 15-20 minutes to the beach! Lovely place to stay! :)
