Suite 3 ~ Praia de Carbono no centro de Malibu

This was expensive accommodation and hence one would expect a high level of service especially for a short two night stay. There are a few reasons I would give this a 3 and not a 4.

1) The kitchen light didn’t work as we arrived when it was dark, and had a hecetic schedule there was no time to complain but as a minimum I expect all bulbs to checked prior to a stay.

2) No oustide light, candles should be provided on the balcony

3) Parking number wasn’t highlighted prior to check in, this information was only found in the information pack

4) The picture on the website clearly shows steps to access to beach from the balcony, this is not the case. We had to ask locals for access and they were hesitant to allowus access at which point I had to message the agent.

Absolutely loved it!

Our stay was okay but for this price, we expected a bit more—the building facade is falling apart as is the balcony to the unit. The inside was nicely decorated but the microwave didn’t work, the plumbing is apparently very old (there is even a sign in the bathroom saying that if the toilet gets clogged, it’s an automatic $500 repair because of old plumbing). The bed slept well and we figured out the television (thanks to us having our own Netflix account) but the DirecTV does not seem to even work (get the “no signal” message). It’s in a great location between Nobu and the Malibu Pier but can be tricky to find. It’s a unit in a building with at least 7 other units, none of which seem to be well maintained. We couldn’t figure out beach acces because there is no beach to access—the unit sits right on/over the water so there’s little to no sand. It would be nice if the balcony were nice to sit out there but it feels like it will Call into the water any moment. We would not rent this again, especially given the price.

My girlfriend and I stayed for two days while visiting Malibu in early March. The place was clean and the views were excellent. We saw whales and dolphins from the porch and had a great time surfing and exploring!

Clean , quiet, close to everything . People friendly. Any issue handled immediately. . Would rent again .
