Rita was a welcoming and generous host, greeting us in person with hugs and wine and cheese. He place is a magical fairy garden. Rita lives in a mansion next door with a huge pool with waterfalls and the airbnb is an adorable little cottage in a spacious garden surrounded by huge trees and shiny shrubs. The garden is filled with enormous crystals and places to sit and read and lounge under the avocado trees and bougainvillea. The cottage has a heater and a little kitchen and a TV and amazingly powerful massage chair. We had a ball unwinding - it was the perfect end to an LA adventure. Walking past the luxurious Malibu mansions down to Zuma beach. There are some fabulous restaurants nearby overlooking the beach - not too many shops but you can cook at home and eat out in style. Most of all I loved lounging on the day bed and soaking in the atmosphere of luscious nature. Next time we're going to do some trail hikes and explore more, but this time we just loved hanging out at Rita's. I never wanted to leave this unique gem!
