As a Superhost guest staying here I wanted to write a fair and honest review that hit on the high points and areas of improvement.
As a footnote I paid 5k for 4 nights (3 of us, husband son and I). I rated a 4 overall however; a 3 on value. Had I received amazing “extras” I would have been ok with everything BUT felt the price should have been around 3k for what I got.
Pros:
-on the best stretch of beach in Malibu
-dedicated Parking spot
-easy, keyless entry
-this unit (#1) had stairs directly down to the beach right out of the door!
-response back immediately when Netflix wasn’t working from the host.
Areas of improvement:
-no “welcome” gift, now I know hosts don’t have to do this as a host however; when I’m spending 5k there should be something-a bottle of wine, flowers, local cookies. This sets the tone…and has guests overlook shortcomings.
-when you walk by the windows to the unit two of the screens are torn and mangled-not a great look for your entry to the unit.
-cheap Kerug machine and not enough K-cups for us for our stay.
-the AC has a setting for the AC to go up to 67 at night so every 90 min my husband had to get up in the night to turn down the air. Again…paying 5k-I expect to have top level allowances. I asked the Host to remove this guardrail for our last night-no response.
-issues with Nexflix so the host said he was going to send “house cleaning” over in the morning. A large not too friendly man showed up-something you should warn a guest about-it threw me given it was just my son and I there at the moment and I was expecting “house keeping”. He definitely went out of his way to look in the bedrooms to ensure it was just the 3 of us staying. Didn’t love this…
Hope this review is read as it’s intended: overall good place to stay in a GREAT location but value wasn’t necessarily there for me. I could have paid a premium b/c it was spring break-so take that into consideration on this review too.
