Rita was very kind to respond to a last minute reservation for her quiet and very pleasant place in Malibu. Great location near Zuma beach and other Malibu landmarks. Rita adds a very nice personal touch with fruit, cheese, bread and a bottle of wine waiting for me. There were a couple of short unexplained power outages in the neighborhood, but nothing that interfered with my stay. I suggested the addition of some curtains over the bed which Rita was going to address. I think she may have some available, but due to the last minute nature of this visit, it did not get communicated to me, and I didn't ask. Price was fair, though I felt the cleaning fee was a bit high for my short stay. I would recommend her cottage for anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing spot close to all that Malibu has to offer.
