Denis was a wonderful host. He is super generous and welcoming and he made us feel right at home. He has lived in Topanga for many years and was happy to direct us to good hiking, restaurants, and local events. His property is wooded and peaceful--a welcome respite from the city. The apartment is outfitted with everything you could need and is decorated with lots of beautiful objet d'art from his worldwide travels. Denis is also a talented photographer and his landscapes of the local area are hanging in the bedrooms.
