Tastefully decorated and spacious house in Malibu Hills. Host was very responsive as we had a number of utility issues during our stay. First there was a pre-notified power cut in the area, which the Host had informed us about. This meant there was no power from 9pm to 2:30am on our first night. Then there was no water available the next morning. The Host was helpful in contacting the water company but it meant that we had to leave for our LA excursion without being able to take showers. The Host did provide a small refund due to this lack of basic essentials.
Some items like lamps and microwave were broken at the house and the area had been hit by stormy weather a few days earlier, resulting in debris in outside areas.
Probably bad timing that we got hit by these problems as they were largely out of control for the Host.
