This house was terrific! The house looks as advertised in the pictures. It is spacious with plenty of central living room space. This worked well for our group of 8. The house is well-located---very close to a market/stores/freeway with easy access to all of LA. Malibu beach was an easy drive. The kitchen had just about everything you could need---coffee-maker, toaster, hot air fryer, plenty of dishes, grill outside, etc. House is air-conditioned. The backyard is amazing and probably the best part of the house! We were there on a particularly hot spell. The pool is quite large and clean (and was warm) and there are multiple areas to sit with comfy chairs and some areas that are covered. We sat out there for hours-and-hours----you almost don't need the inside if the weather is warm! The host was kind and responsive. We didn't watch too much TV since we were at the pool, but all TVs are smart-TVs (so no cable). This worked fine for us as the kids mostly want to stream Netflix anyway. WIFI works well throughout the house (and even in backyard). Things to bring with you (we ended-up buying): body soap for bathrooms, shampoo/conditioner, mosquito spray for dusk/early morning if you're sitting outside in summer.
