Elaine was a wonderful host! Very friendly and a great communicator. Her home was lovely, spacious and extremely quiet. We stayed here while visiting my college daughter who attends Pepperdine. Her views from her guest room are gorgeous. Her home does sit at the top of a canyon road. I am from out of town and familiar with the canyon roads, but they are super windy and narrow at times. Definitely worth the views but not for the inexperienced or cautious drivers. I would def stay at Elaine's lovely home again. It was great!
