It was a lovely guesthouse conveniently located near to the host's home, in case of emergencies, and yet still offering enough privacy for the guest. Patricia was warm and welcoming as a host should be, with a smile that would melt many a heart. Even without a car, I found that the beaches were within walking distance and the bus route was super easy to follow. I had a wonderful time and would recommend this Malibu property to anyone wanting to get away from the touristy crowd.
