Deborah was an excellent host. She made us feel extremely welcome, and was so thoughtful. She went above and beyond by providing extra touches such as fresh organic produce, bagels, and coffee/tea upon our arrival. It was so nice to have some food on hand after driving in with 3 young kids. When we booked our stay, Deb didn't have a pack n play, yet she purchased one before our arrival knowing that it would be useful for our youngest son.

Deb's guest house is very welcoming and comfortable. We had everything we needed as far as linens, dishes, etc. and it was such a nice place to stay. Deb even offered us extras to borrow for the beach such as a cooler, boogie boards, and plenty of beach towels. The neighborhood is so peaceful, and the location was great for us to get to destinations both coastal (Malibu, Santa Monica), as well as in the valley.

Deb herself is so sweet, and was great with our three young kids. Deb made herself available for any questions or requests we may have had, and was delightful to chat with, yet we always felt like we had plenty of privacy.

The only constructive criticism we would offer as far as the listing, is that it wasn't obvious to us that the second bedroom isn't fully enclosed. In hindsight, this could probably be deduced from some of the pictures where the folding divider/screen is visible. We initially thought that both bedrooms were fully walled-off, however the second is actually open to the living room and separated by a foldable partition. This was only an issue because our three kids are young and go to bed considerably earlier than we do. In order to keep things quiet for them, we put the three of them in the separate bedroom and stayed in the room adjoining the living room. It ended up working out just fine, and wouldn't be a deal breaker at all for future stays because everything else was so great...selfishly though, we would've preferred the larger bed in the enclosed bedroom since my husband and I are both tall :)

Overall, it was a fantastic stay, Deb was a great host, and we would definitely book a stay with her again in the future! Thanks!
