Helena place was worth every dime. It’s in a super secluded neighborhood. (Keep in mind the location is West Malibu so add time to travel time to Los Angelos/Santa Monica.) Starbucks was only 5 minutes up the road with a quaint grocery store. Whole foods and other shops and restaurants was about 15 minutes up the road.The rooms had their every own patio/ balcony and the artwork was amazing. We stayed for 5 days and got teary eyed because we had to leave. The beach access directions was simple and it was just a walk down the path/ stairs. Most definitely will be back and Helena was a great host💕😊
