I visited with my boyfriend and we had such a great time. The hikes right outside of the stay are incredible. I was thankful we took the time to explore the area as opposed to driving somewhere else.
I also saw a hummingbird while drinking coffee on the back porch and loved all the different birds in the area. Wifi was great. Would recommend bringing a laptop if you’re trying to watch tv at night.
I am personally anxious driving on narrow roads. The last mile leading up to the location was scary for me the first time but got better as I became acclimated. My maps also directed me to take a faster route down the mountain when I planned to go to Malibu and Santa Monica. That route had amazing views, but if you’re not used to driving on mountain roads, I would suggest asking Ariana for alternative routes.
Overall, great stay. Would 100% recommend. (Unless you’re gross and leave out dirty dishes because you will summon all the ants but that is on you.)
