David captured the Topanga vibe for sure, a little shambolic and weird, but also delivering on the beautiful views and special atmosphere that makes Topanga such a colorful place. The apartment was spartan, the shared bathroom upstairs (which wasn't a problem until someone used my girlfriend's toothbrush, which was definitely out of bounds) and the hammock was right at the edge of the parking lot. On the other hand, the bed was fantastic, the view was amazing and it was the perfect relaxing tonic from the normal LA thing. If you can deal with a little mess and communal living, it's a nice, affordable getaway that's near some cool Topanga stores and restaurants, a short distance from Malibu — and yet on it's own astral plane. Still tweaked about the toothbrush though.
