If you’re thinking of booking this, book it. It’s in a gorgeous location nestled into the picturesque hills of Malibu, the property is beautiful & the studio has everything you’ll need to relax & get away in comfort. But really, the above & beyond of this place are the hosts - Bruce & Mary.
We happened to say during a very rare weeklong rainstorm - of a rare few the area has had in years (like never happens). Road conditions were not optimal. Mary was concerned about us driving on the roads to go get provisions, so she LITERALLY cooked us 3 meals a day. And hand delivered them to the studio. She & Bruce were always there to make sure we had what we needed, umbrellas, nespresso, tea, extra sparkling water, anything.
They are the best hosts we’ve ever had. Review doesn’t do it justice.
On the last day there I was in the courtyard watching the birds take a dip in the fountain & wishing we’d had sunshine to enjoy this earlier… But then we never would have experienced the unexpected joys that we did - watching Bruce video his neighbor plowing rocks in the pouring rain, having home cooked meals from the peppiest, kindest lil 4’11 woman you’ve ever met. I think we experienced the genuine sense of neighborliness and community of Malibu, and I wouldn’t trade that for sunshine!
