We loved our stay! We were very thorough in researching options in the area and had high expectations for this place. The combination of the open-loft layout, vaulted ceilings, basically wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling windows, and the spectacular view made for a unique experience and our high expectations were definitely met.
The grounds were a little overgrown but you could tell it was oozing potential, and it didn't matter to us so much because of the awesomeness mentioned above of the loft.
It is a bit of a serpentine drive up the steep and narrow mountain road but how else do you get up to such an awesome view? It wasn't too bad going up and down to explore Malibu and the beach once or twice a day.
We were there the end of January and the weather was a nice 73 and partly cloudy. It rained quite hard our last day though.
Ling and David were very responsive on airbnb messaging. Overall, it was a fantastic getaway.
