Nicholas and Ellen's place is perfect. everything is neat and well thought out. the views are everything from inside and out they are spectacular!!!. Great place just to relax and separate from everything, yet so close to the beautiful beaches of Malibu and the city of Santa Monica and LA. Nicholas and Ellen were great hosts, very friendly, walked me through everything. Kept me informed of everything going on in the area (road closures etc) which helps a lot since navigating the canyons can take time when alternating routes. Just a great stress free getaway.
