This is indeed a killer view. It's up in the mountain behind Malibu, about a 10 min drive from the water. This little room is lovely with a great ensuite and a bed so comfy I didn't realize it was a fold out couch until the morning when I saw the way the sheets settled. There are beautiful birds everywhere and it's fantastically quiet. Jen is incredibly sweet and solicitous and she has amazing taste. Lovely thick towels and a gorgeously appointed art filled home. If you drive about 10 or 15 mins beyond her place there's a great spot for hiking. The driveway is a bit hair raising at first but you get the hang of it quickly. Loved it here.
