Pros: The home is very nice and spacious. I loved the views and the outdoor spaces. Austin was very kind and communicative.
Cons: The house could use some cosmetic updates. The location is MUCH farther up the Malibu mountains than we realized, so the drive was quite scary at first, especially in the dark or in the rain (which was our experience). Because of this, cell service is bad and the wifi can be spotty. Also, privacy isn’t really an option at this house since they have co-hosts on site (just across the driveway) who watched us all anytime we came in or out — that was pretty uncomfortable. So much so that we just decided to head out a day early.
Overall it’s a nice stay for a group who would want to stay in most of the time, but if you want to go back and forth to shops and restaurants in Malibu, the location made that difficult for us.
