My friends and I planned a Thanksgiving trip to Malibu, Universal Studios and Death Valley. For the first leg of our trip, we needed a place conveniently located to both Malibu and Universal Studios, and Marcelo's place was equidistant from both. On contacting him, he was very prompt with replies and agreed to host us even on a short notice.
The house is in a very pretty location and has all the amenities that one would would require. It is very homely, well equipped and was very comfortable for all 6 of us and we loved our 2 night stay. Marcelo received us and helped with the check in and a walk through of the home. The hosts are very gracious and answer all questions promptly. We had a slight issue with the bathroom lights, but on mentioning this to Marcelo, he fixed it in no time.
I would highly recommend this listing to anyone who is planning a trip in LA or on the outskirts.
