Ryan was an exceptional host. This was our first Airbnb experience, and it definitely set the bar high. While we never got the chance to meet our host - which was totally fine for us and made it seem even more like a private getaway - he was always within reach and prompt to respond to messages. The cozy oasis was exactly as pictured - beautiful, comfortable and clean - and tucked far away into canyons. Everything you need, from how to use the cable/internet and coffee maker to restaurant recommendations and tourist attractions, was in an organized pamphlet upon entry. We didn't have the best or any cell phone reception here, but there is WiFi (password in the pamphlet), which should allow you to do anything you need from your smartphone. We brought our own car, so the parking space was appreciated, but we also used Uber at night, when drinking, so give yourself at least 20 minutes of waiting for that, as the service is generally slower in Malibu. It can get a little cooler at night, especially in Fall/Winter, so be sure to bring warm pajamas and socks and/or a snuggle buddy! Thanks, Ryan! This was exactly what we needed. We'd love to come back!
