I have stayed a total of three times in the Creative Suite in Topanga Canyon. It has been the perfect place to stay while working a contracting gig in Malibu. It is close to the office, but off the beaten track in a beautiful quiet rustic area. You'll hear owls, frogs and the occasional coyote. Everything you need, including parking right outside the suite and a french press for coffee. (Don't forget to bring your coffee!) And nothing you don't (no T.V. or microwave, but I those certainly aren't "needs" and I personally like not having a T.V.) So I would highly recommend and will be staying there again soon, I hope! Happy Travels!
