Lucas was great to communicate with. however, he needs to spend some time there to clean and paint the unit. he also needs to find a new cleaner. we were given one bath towel each but no hand or wash cloth. also, we were given only 1/4 inch of a roll of toilet paper with no backup.
having said that, there is a good amount of space in the unit, which always beats a 370 sq. ft. hotel room, and his rates are extremely reasonable. while it was close to the donut shop and a 7-11 for coffee in the morning, being generational, it was not an easy or close enough walk for us to get to the beach, the pier or other shops and restaurants. parking was also a hassle.
at the very least, we would recommend that Lucas put in a microwave and buy an inexpensive mr. coffee. sorry, it's inconvenioent to use a french press.
we did find some very excellent restaurants in the area. on the PCH, check out Malibu Fish Grill and JusPoke - like being back in Hawaii!!
