This is a beautiful place that combines proximity to the attractions of LA with a feeling of peaceful secludedness that makes you feel a million miles from it all! Mathias and Swanny are impeccable hosts, exceptionally welcoming and friendly and very accomodating whilst also valuing privacy. The accomodation is well-equipped (excellent cooking facilities and coffee machine) with a very comfortable bed, lovely seating/lounge area and good bathroom facilities. Lots of character and reading material too, along with some great pieces of artwork on display from Swanny. The hosts live on the site too which is blessed with some lovely grounds - it's also very well shaded by trees which stops it from getting too warm. Facilities within 10mins at both Malibu (Ralph's supermarket recommended) and Calabasas - we enjoyed going into the city but favouite spot was Point Dume where wildlife is in abundance (dolphins being the higlight) on a quiet unspoiled beach, 20mins drive from the apartment. A fantastic place!
