Mathias' place was fantastic. A easy and beautiful 10min minute drive from Malibu up into the foothills. It's secluded and rural, in a wonderful old oak grove just as described. The apt. is attached to the main house, but it was quite quiet and felt private. The king bed was BIG comfy and linens cozy. We traveled with our 1.5yo toddler, and it was a great space to let her move around in without worry. Two couches were nice to relax on (or for younger children to sleep on), and the kitchen had all the right things for simple meal prep and storage in the mini fridge (we only did breakfasts). The highlight was the property, birds in the morning and frogs in the evening (we were there in May). You could stroll the property, relax in the big hammock, sit or dine outside at the many picnic tables. After chatting a bit Mathias brought me a specific book which I took to the beach a few times. We had a very good stay and would definitely return. :)
