This was our first experience with airbnb. We did not know what to expect in all honesty. We are an older couple who needed a quiet area to stay that had the benefits of a functional home. Communication with Mathias was great which made locating the property and check-in easy. We felt safe in the area which is away from LA/city crowds but close enough to enjoy the activities in the city. We had a rental car and parking was essential. The space was clean and we had no worries of using / touching anything for concerns of "germs" or filth. The property appeared to be well cared for and sufficient for our needs. The living room was very adorable and had a large TV to enjoy on our evenings in. The galley style kitchenette was fine for us to prepare coffee and store beverages in the full size refrigerator. The bathroom was spacious with good lighting and excellent hot water and water pressure for showers. We brought our own towels out of preference but there were plenty available for use. The bed was very, very comfortable and loaded with pillows. The washer and dryer came in handy as we are light packers. I used the iron, ironing board, keurig and hairdryer which were free of problems. I appreciated the strategic placement of nightlights. That was super thoughtful. The yard and pool were nice to have available but we didn't have a lot of time to enjoy them. We did however enjoy sightseeing through Topanga in the Santa Monica mountains , lunch at the Pacific Cove Beach Cafe in Malibu, a show at the LA Forum and a day at Disneyland. So much to see and do and learn in the area. We would absolutely return for a stay on another trip to the area without a second thought.
