Jennifer's home is a wonderful, modern home located in an idyllic location with explosive views of the Malibu hills and Pacific Ocean. Check in was easy. The host does note that the road is not for those with a fear of heights- it is in fact harrowing the first couple of times, especially in the dark, however once adjusted, becomes 'old hat'.
For those wanting a respite from the hustle and bustle, the home is perfect. It's far removed from everything, and the living room offers a huge wall of books. Visitors should note that there is no cell reception (on AT&T), few delivery options, and that Lyft is non-existent and Uber takes at least 20 minutes lead time (for Uber, be sure to stand outside, as they won't have cell reception climbing the hill).
The main level has an open living, dining and kitchen. The view abounds, and it is stunning. Everything was modern and curated. As we made a Christmas dinner there, the kitchen accoutrements were a bit lacking for that, but the occasional diner should have no problem making meals with the setup. The kitchen has both a Nespresso and Keurig. Bosch appliances prove attractive, with a bit of 'form over function'.
Downstairs houses a bedroom with en-suite bathroom, the sole television, along with a garage and office. It served well for a second couple, with the needed privacy. The mattress was suitable for an extra bedroom, and the bathroom came with Alberto VO5 shampoo and conditioner. We would have preferred a bit nicer touches with the soaps and such, but an added bonus was the extra Keurig coffee maker.
Upstairs is magnificent. It has the master bedroom, a sitting room which has been converted to a third bedroom, and a spectacular bathroom complete with a soaking tub with gorgeous view. Visitors should note that the upstairs sitting room-bedroom is adjacent to the master bathroom and master bedroom, without the ability to lock. The sitting room has a skylight directly above the bed. The master bedroom has a charming Eero Aarnio chair, perfect for cuddling up and reading while soaking up the sunset.
All in all, the home is very charming, and provides a true escape from the rest of Los Angeles. Thanks Jennifer for allowing us to experience the unique and beautiful lifestyle and views of Malibu.
