I had the most wonderful stay ever at Mona’s place. I would recommend it to anyone who needs a quiet and joyful creative retreat in the mountains with nature - the views from the super large window are marvelous, and having the morning coffee every day by the creek with the canyon views is the best way to start your day (the backyard here is literally a mountain creek with the tiny waterfall!). The little house is arranged and designed so beautifully, with so much love, attention and detail! During my vacation I’ve initially been planning to travel to the city for some museums and stuff, but actually I preferred just staying at Topanga, because it’s better than anything else - the vibes, the community, the nature - and I just wanted to spend more time in this amazing and peaceful place.
The village is literally 3-5 minutes walk (with all those little shops and restaurants, and the pizza, and the most amazing tacos, and Mimosa cafe with great breakfasts and pastries) - also one of the most spectacular Topanga hiking trails starts very close from the village - you can take a large all-the-way-and-back hike, or just walk a few hours to enjoy the views.
I am very thankful to Mona and Danny, they are amazing hosts!
