Host was friendly but I feel compared to how they advertised the property vs what is offered, there were things amiss. I.e., we arrived at 5pm 1 hour after check in and the water heater was being replaced and wasn't completed until after 7pm. We were never notified of this and could had been an issue if we needed the place sooner, but fortunately we decided to eat out for dinner.
The host charged a $3500 wedding venue fee even though the wedding was just 10 people total as it was a private wedding, and less than the maximum guest policy. We only used the place as a standard location venue as any other renter would for space purposes since we wanted the view outside, so I don't know what the extra $3500 got us, when initially they presented it as though they would offer us assistance or guidance in finding someone who could arrange the venue for such an event but they never offered us anything after I asked several times.
Condition of the place is more on the needing repair side, items like the doors out of alignment, some areas of torn carpet, the walls needing painting from water leaks. Some cables coming from the ceilings w/out explanation, not that it makes a difference to the stay, but aesthetics definitely on the needing TLC end for a house in Malibu. The house has seen better days for sure.
Stuff like Sheets, towels are clean and basic supplies to stay overnight, nothing fancy.
I feel we sacrificed too much for what we paid without being told of many things.
