Upon my arrival, the experience of meeting Brian for the first time was both very warm and receptive. That sensation persisted throughout my stay and he made me feel very comfortable and right at home. He's a sincerely friendly, interesting guy who can be either engaging or leave you to your own space, whichever you prefer. His place is tastefully furnished, clean and very comfortable. The unobstructed ocean view from his balcony is simply beautiful. He's lived in the area for quite some time and is very knowledgeable on great places to see, restaurants to eat at and things to do there. I followed up on some of his suggestions and was very glad for having done so. The listing description was very accurate and the neighborhood in general is safe, relaxed feeling and wonderfully located. The internationally famous Sunset boulevard runs directly into Hwy 1 and can be accessed less than a mile away from Brian's location should one care to visit Hollywood. For anyone interested in visiting Malibu, or simply being on the coast in the L.A. area, I would highly recommend staying at this accommodation. Brian's simply a super host and the combination of his personality, knowledge, place and location will only serve to enhance your own vacation experience.
