This was my very first Airbnb experience. The cottage was super adorable. The check-in process was very easy and they were communicative. However, I was a little disappointed with a few things. First, I had no idea the location was on a 20 minute windy road into the hills. It was a horrible drive every time we left and came back. Second, it was not as close to the Malibu beach as I was informed. Third, they did not indicate that they also lived on the property; not that I planned to do anything wrong, however, I felt like I was being monitored during my stay, especially when they contacted me about my parking, (approximately ten minutes after I parked). Overall, not what I expected and wanted but the place was cute.
