We had a great one night stay at Cindy's place in Malibu. The apartment was much more spacious than it appeared in the photos and very comfortable - he bathroom is huge!
We didn't meet Cindy as we were our in Malibu but check in was very straightforward. We were hugely appreciative of bagels, fruit and boiled eggs being left on the fridge for breakfast.
The road up to the house is very windy and a little scary at night. I'd recommend checking in during daylight hours!
