This apartment was perfect for our long weekend trip in February. Connie was easy to communicate with before our arrival and was very welcoming when we reached Malibu. The location was perfect. We spent a lot of time just reading on the balcony with waves crashing on the beach. The house is very close to some great hiking spots, the Getty Villa, restaurants, and beaches. We also ventured in to L.A. several times, but that felt completely unnecessary when considering how comfortable and relaxing the apartment was. We will definitely recommend Connie as a host to our friends and family. An all-around fantastic vacation.
