Things we loved:

- The bathroom. So big, so nice. The concrete shower was fantastic. Lots of towels.

- The food. Heikki had the apt stocked with a few food items...this was sooooo appreciated after a long day of traffic getting to Malibu.

- The personal greeting: Heikki was there to say hello when we arrived and goodbye when we left. He is adorable.

- The guide: Heikki has written this printed guide about all the stuff to do and see in Malibu that is both curmudgeonly and immensely entertaining. I read the whole thing. Sounds weird...but it was seriously funny. The guy has some good jokes. I recommend.

- The iron: After a week of slobbing around the beach, I wanted to look nice and iron my skirt...Heikki had this super heavy duty Rowena iron available in the apt that was so amazing to use that I got on Amazon and ordered my own today.

- Peace and quiet: We wanted time alone and we got it. No noise or disturbances, just gorgeous views and peace.

- Hiking: After reading about it in the guide, we hiked through the neighborhood to Zuma Canyon trail, which was super tough and awesome!!! Great way to exercise in the area!

- The view from the bed: You're up so high it looks like the ocean is rising up into the sky to meet your view while you're lying in bed. So great. So happy.

- The ants: Heikki anticipated the little fire ants hanging around and stocked our place with a vinegar spray to take care of it...very thoughtful.

Hope to return again someday. It was heavenly.
