We had a wonderful stay at Erica's lovely home. She is the perfect host and very helpful. The house is in Topanga Canyon, which is a magical place close to the beach but you feel like you are in the mountains (because you are!). But the house is not so high up that it takes forever to get anywhere. The home has a park behind it where you can take a nice walk on the trails. The house itself is beautifully decorated with gorgeous artwork and antique furniture pieces artfully placed. It was very clean, with all the amenities you will need for a fantastic vacation. We will try to stay there again next time we go to LA.
