Matthias was wonderful in every way. He was there if you needed him but the space provided much privacy. The guest house is joined to the main cabin but it deadbolt locks on our side so we did have complete privacy. Even had our own small outside porch area with two chairs. My complaints would be how deathly quiet the whole area was in general, which someone find quite appealing and the construction going on next-door early in the morning. Also I learned quite a bit on insects i hadnt seen before, but that could just be the area as well. Treehouse was charming, I had a few very lovely evening's watching the sunset sneak behind the mountains just outside the treehouse. The view is just breathtaking, and the location is ideal for travel in and around of Malibu and surrounding areas. Even took a day trip to Santa Barbara which is fantastic. Amenities were such a blessing, and abundant. Tons of linens, towels, random condiments and cooking utensils, pillows, the Keurig machine, small refrigerator, TV, high chair, books to read, dish towels, dish soap, and did I mention how amazing it was to have a washer and a dryer so you can come home and not be swamped with laundry for days. Matthias had a few houseguests during my stay as well which all I encountered were very welcoming and friendly. The neighborhood it's self is private, quiet, polite, scenic, and very safe. No one likes their cars or houses.
