Cindy was an excellent host--unfortunately our trip was so jam packed and chaotic we never got to actually meet her and her family. Her home was beautiful and the location couldn't have been more picture-perfect situated between the Malibu mountains and the Pacific ocean. She left a personalized note with all the necessary information, plus lots of nice little touches like greek yogurt in the fridge, and all-natural shampoo and body wash. We didn't have enough time to use the hot tub, but I can only imagine how relaxing that would have been out on the private patio in the evening. She was flexible to our last-minute plans and highly responsive. Great host.
