This was my first time staying in a room in someone's house, versus the guesthouse or hotel, so I was definitely a little nervous. Upon arrival, I met with Diana, and I instantly knew this was going to work out great. She was very kind and made you feel at home right away. The residence itself was clean and cozy, and the shared bathroom was never an issue. The location couldn't have been better with the backdrop of the Malibu Canyon Hills and less than 20 minutes to the beach. There are various stores, restaurants, and gas stations within a couple minutes, and the freeway is so easy to access. I had a really good stay and can't wait to book it again!
