Ryan's private basement studio was a perfect location to get away from the hustle and bustle of LA but is still close enough to Malibu that you can hop down for dinner pretty quickly! The location is up in the hills and the drive can be a bit harrowing if you aren't used to driving on narrow and windy roads! I thought the views on the drive up and down though were spectacular and well worth it. The space had everything we needed to rest of heads comfortably after a couple days of exploring the area. Check in was easy and smooth. I would recommend this space without reservation!
