The room is private and has its own entrance and private bathroom which is always nice. We were met by Ron who showed us the room and gave us the lay of the land. Thanks to his suggestions we had a great Thai dinner a mile down the road and enjoyed hiking trails less than a block away. His quick history of the area was really interesting, I had no idea the connection to Hollywood stars in that area. The location was perfect for our Regan Library visit and Malibu was about a 45min away. There are a few big dogs but they are nice and well behaved, plus Ron kept them quiet while we were sleeping. Overall it was a great stay, and we hope to come back again.
