We were frankly quite disappointed with this rental and I have shared my observations with the hosts by phone and in private message.
First, the good parts - the house is in a great location for access to Malibu. The house is perched on a ridge with a school below (surprisingly quiet, don't worry) and surrounded by other houses and brush. It's quite private for being so central.
The beds are very comfortable, the kitchen is very usable and the wifi was strong and steady when we were there (the TV is internet only). There are enough plates and cups and cooking utensils and a pleasant dining area. The place was serviceable for our regular annual visit to the area.
However, the house itself is looking very run down for the price we paid for our stay. There were multiple outstanding maintenance issues including a broken front door frame, multiple blown light bulbs, inside and out, spots that the cleaners (and landscapers) missed, old appliances that barely work and so on. The terrace furniture is ancient and worn and ugly. There are some things listed in the description which we didn't see (first aid kit, clothes storage, drying rack, iron, room-darkening shades, etc).
The host/ agents have been very responsive and polite both this year and last, and I'm not saying this out of any gripe with them. I just think that these inexpensive and small tasks should have been done. Hopefully quality control on this will improve and we can rent it again in the future without this sort of disappointment.
