From arrival to departure, our hosts were gracious and ensured our studio fulfilled our needs. Every detail was covered -- upscale charm, cozy, exceptionally clean, kitchen equipped for basic cooking, towels for the beach, plenty of towels for showering inside, stairway beach access straight from the house, convenient parking, private entry & porch area, easy access to washer/dryer and very safe with the keylock gates. With the December evening chill, the studio's heated floors were absolutely perfect keeping us toasty. Another unexpected treat was picking & eating oranges from our hosts' trees -- a new experience for us. Oceans Views of Point Dume and Malibu are incredible. Grocery stores and a CVS pharmacy are very close. More importantly, our hosts are kind, respectful, honest and proactively anticipate the needs of their guests. For us, we loved engaging, sharing stories with them and playing with their dog. For others who want a quiet private time, the hosts easily make this happen. We highly recommend this studio and our hosts --- better than staying at a hotel! Because our hosts are so kind and helpful, we made sure to leave our studio as clean as possible. I loved this Airbnb experience!
