The apartment was incredibly located and quite true to the photos. I agree with all the other reviews - the location is private, set off PCH which is wonderful and the view is just stunning. The apartment is nothing fancy but totally comfortable - especially since most of any trip to Malibu should and will be spent enjoying the outdoors. It does absolutely need some small upgrades (deck furniture + bathtub/shower) and there was no coffee provided, but we were so close to all the shops it wasn't a big deal. Other than that I give this stay 5 stars. Mario was also extremely communicative and accommodating - going above and beyond.
