I stayed for 2 nights here with my daughter at the end of an LA holiday. We were blessed with sunshine and loved being in Malibu. Tatiana's place has an amazing view and is sunny and nicely decorated. It would not work without a car as it is not in walking distance of much. You are right above the Pacific Highway so there is some noise. With a car you can easily visit the Malibu beaches and restaurants as well as Santa Monica and the rest of LA. It would be a small place for more than 2 people. My daughter slept on the sofa bed which worked fine. The kitchen space has all you need for a short stay. The bathroom is small but the shower good. The bed in the bedroom is comfy. The pool is just for dipping but a nice feature (we didn't use it). We could swim from the beach at Malibu pier very easily which was great. There are local grocery stores and many good options for eating which Tatiana has in her guest book,. We especially liked the pier cafe and restaurant and Sunset at Point Dume. Tatiana is a good communicator and answers queries quickly. There are a few issues about her place which she needs to sort out for a 5 star rating. But we enjoyed our stay and can recommend.
