Our hostess greeted us and had a welcome basket of goodies that greeted us upon arrival. She was available throughout our stay if we had any questions. The book of directions, restaurants, parks, etc. was a great resource. We stayed at the Buddha House with other members of our family so that we could all be together to attend a family wedding in Malibu. The house was spacious, and the setting was fabulous. Only on the last two days we were there did we get a chance to unwind and really enjoy the home and setting. It was all so very pleasant and peaceful that we vow to return to the Buddha House sometime next year.
