If you’re looking to get away from it all, just not too far, Topanga is a wonderful place to visit. You’ll be high up in the mountains, but still only a 15 minute drive from the ocean. The house is lovely. Plenty of space, personal, two large decks with views, and just a great place to hang out. I stayed for two weeks and did a lot of cooking, loved it that the kitchen had everything I needed. The host, Alexander, is super nice and easy to communicate with. Overall, an awesome place that I highly recommend!
