Starting with the great stuff, the location of the home is amazing, a Malibu home perched above the Pacific Coast Highway with a view of the ocean. The grounds are beautiful, fruit trees, exotic plants and a lovely sitting area by the pool. The room we stayed in was very nice. ( Paul upgraded us when we got there, Thanks! ) Rooms 1 and 2 share a balcony, which is something to know if you are wanting real privacy and both rooms are booked during your stay. The not so great? B, ( our hostess ) tended to hover whenever she heard us in the common spaces. She literally took the coffee grinder out of my wife's hands when we were trying to make a pot of afternoon coffee. She was concerned about making a mess due to too much coffee. ( We've made more than a few pots in our 55 years ) The thermostat upstairs had a note saying " Do Not Touch " so we had to negotiate with B for A/C settings in the evenings. This is a great place to sleep and have as a base if you want to have all of your meals ( and coffee ) out and about while you explore the area, but we definitely felt that we were in someone's home when we were there.
