Tatiana's place was small but cute and only had a few issues that need addressed. The lock on the sliding glass door does not work, we tried using the key to lock it when we left and had no luck so we gave up. I'm sure it's a safe area but we felt a little vulnerable leaving our things in an unlocked building. We only stayed there one night so luckily we didnt have to leave very often. Tatiana had told me she would be on vacation while we were at her place and her nephew would help us but when we tried contacting him he was unresponsive. Again, we were only there one night and didnt have many issues so it wasn't a huge deal, but could be a problem for future guests. The place as a whole is as described. There are quite a lot of steps to go down to access the place which is not ideal for older people like my Dad who was with us, but that is in the description. It's clean and cute although the towels smelled like mildew which was probably due to them not being completely dried. Her policy is a little unclear as there is a no smoking policy but that policy does not have any mention of not being able to smoke outside. We were respectful to close the windows and doors while one of the guests did smoke and also disposed of the cigarette butts in the trash but Tatianna contacted us after we left requesting a $300 security deposit and apparently there were a few ashes left on the patio. There was no damage done to her property and I feel like $300 is excessive considering the lack of a
damage. Overall it was a decent stay. Nice location, good view, ok price for a small place in Malibu.
