The house and the location is amazing! Beaches are close, we had a great time. House is stocked with all the essentials one would normally expect. Gotta love the checkout instructions :-). The host was kind enough to fulfill some special request we had prior to checking in. Appreciate that.
There are some areas of improvements though:
- The house was clean, but there was what felt like a lingering pet odor which we couldn’t get over unfortunately.
- Also, would’ve liked if the host was responsive to our messages on Airbnb. Never received any responses, got one after multiple follow-ups. The instructions to get in the house/car parking areas/keys etc. are provided, but depending on situations it can get a bit overwhelming to follow and would be less stressful if the host got your back and responded to messages.
- Parking is a pain, but with some hassle we were able to park 2 SUVs, and keep space for the second unit holder’s car.
Aside from all of this, loved our stay and would rent it again if we came back to Malibu! It was a memorable trip and this place was definitely a part of it!
