The apartment is on a quiet winding road just off the PCH. Location is great: a few minutes from Carbon beach, a couple of miles from the Malibu pier and 3 miles from the Malibu shopping center. The apartment has a very large terrace with incredible views of the ocean. outdoor setting is great with sun beds, large dining table, etc. inside it is very well furnished, bright, large kitchen with all amenities, and 2 bedrooms each with its one private bathroom. This apartment is perfect for 2 couples or a family with kids. There are stairs to climb unless you want to take the freight elevator (which is slow) - we did not mind it at all as it was a good exercise for us. The host family was incredibly friendly with MANY classy touches like champagne in the fridge, snacks in the pantry, espresso pods to last a full week, etc. They live nearby and are always ready to help. we would definitely come back - this was an awesome stay!
