The guesthouse was a good value for Malibu and close to Zuma Beach. However there are a few kinks that Elizabeth needs to address. The A/C did not seem to work very well and she didn't really know how to regulate it. It would turn on and off during the night and was quite noisy which interrupted our sleep. There was an all in one washer and dryer that never dried and that too she did not seem to know how to work. We got the idea that she was new to the whole Air BNB thing. Most hosts in my experience welcome their guests with more knowledge of their interior amenities, this was not the case. The studio guesthouse was set back on the property and we were not allowed to enjoy sitting outside by her pool or sit comfortably outside our guesthouse studio as there was just one chair to sit on. We were quite disappointed by the entire experience. I believe on our next trip to Malibu we will stay in a hotel.
