Nestled in the trees outside of Malibu, this was the perfect stay for us while my daughter auditioned at Pepperdine. It's part of their own home, but we had plenty of privacy and our own entrance. It was a spacious apartment style accommodation. We didn't have cell phone reception (T-mobile) while there, but wifi was great. We cooked a couple meals at home and the kitchen was more than adequate. Ralph's grocery in Malibu was more affordable than I expected. We'll definitely stay with Swanny & Mathias again if our daughter attends Pepperdine.
