We had a lovely family holiday celebration at Vanessa's home this year. She took great care to ensure that the house was spotless, provided thoughtful touches such as twinkle lights, a Christmas tree, and Hanukkah decor, and she stocked the kitchen with all the necessities as well as a variety of coffees, teas, oils and spices -- perfect for us as we did quite a bit of cooking! The views from the house are breathtaking, and there are comfortable nooks for gathering or taking a few quiet moments to read. Vanessa was also quick to respond to our last-minute requests. Overall, she is a welcoming and accommodating host, and we will remember our holiday getaway in Malibu fondly. Thank you, Vanessa!
