We booked Dereks place at the very last minute. The communication was instant. We checked in quite late so it was dark but the directions given were so accurate and helpful. Check in was easy! This place may seem a little out the way on the map but its only a 20 min drive to Santa Monica and 30 mins to Malibu beach. The perfect peaceful location. The place itself is so beautiful! The pictures don’t do it justice! A very light spacious comfortable space with lots of windows and outside veranda where we ate breakfast. Derek and his wife lived above but we never heard them and you even have your own entrance. If are a hiker this is the place for you also! Lots of walking trails. We would return in a heartbeat. One of my favourite places on Airbnb and we’ve been to a few! Perfectly adequate for what you need. I’m just sad that we never enjoyed the space as much as we wanted. Thank you so much for letting us use your home at such short notice.
