    There was an insect infestation apparent upon entry. See photo. Host and Booking.com were both a total fail on resolution.

    I felt relieved I had changed my original plan of staying five nights.

    It didn’t smell good, there was a scent of mouldy damp. The fact that the toilet is essentially in the same room as the kitchen and living areas was rather queasy. It was hard to find: it took me about 30 minutes after arriving at Escondido drive to identify it, the house number is not nearly prominent enough. And it is very, very remote. Even the nearest hiking trail I could find was four miles away.

    It was comfortable.

    STAY AWAY. Horrific experience, we had to leave the place.

    STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. This was a horrific experience. My husband and I booked the stay for the final days of our honeymoon. We checked in at 10 pm and instead of finding a nice honeymoon retreat we found a health and safety hazard. To put it into perspective upfront: We are used to both, budget & luxury travel, but this place was not adequate for neither, moreover being in the upper price category. The entrance door already was covered in ants and all kinds of insects and spiders. We still entered but the room was worst. There was dirt or black molt on the sides of the wall, insects above and on the bed, stains on the couch, a broken entrance to the bathroom with nails coming out the floor. The conditions of the place did not allow us to stay, therefore we left, checked into another place and very kindly texted the host to refund the stay because it was not possible to actually stay there. The host did not reply but instead deleted the conversation. After reaching out to Booking to find a solution, the host told booking that we left before the place could be cleaned. In reality it was 10 pm, the damages in this place were not fixable with just cleaning and the host actually deleted all messages and did not reply at all. Long story short: Instead of showing basic human decency after we had to look for a new place in the middle of the night, the host even refused to refund. Can`t comprehend how someone can behave that way, especially knowing that people booked this stay for one of the most special time in their life.

    STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. Unfortunately nothing positive to tell. The whole set-up looks like a scam, it was literally not possible to stay at the place. We had to leave and look in the middle of the night for a new place causing costs and distress.

    Humid and dirty space, with bugs crawling on the floor

    The room was very humid and the floor was not clean at all, there was dust and bugs coming in from holes under the window. Disgusting bugs were crawling on the floor all the time despite us keeping no food outside. The humidity left a bad small in the room, even after opening the window to change the air. The bathroom was not isolated from the rest of the room. The room is basically a basement with a bunch of old furniture that is falling apart, the bed is a net and a mattress, and the overall impression is of a sloppy and unclean environment. Honestly I understand that the area is expensive, but charging more than 200 dollars for this place is really a scam.

    Honestly I did not like much of the place, it was not pleasant to be there so we spent as much as possible time outside.

    Perfect hideaway in the hills

    The outdoor space was not very well-maintained when I was there, but it could have been due to the low season. The bathroom had no covered windows, so you may not want to use the shower at night ;) - for me, not a big deal.

    First of all, I loved staying here! The house is located off Latigo Canyon Road in Malibu, close to the Malibu County Market, the Pier, and its adjacent beaches, as well as Pepperdine University. I was searching for a tranquil place and found it here. Please be reminded that having a car is necessary, and the winding roads can be challenging at night if you are not accustomed to them. I was upgraded to a family room, which was, of course, very spacious and fully equipped with a kitchen.
