Topanga Canyon Paradise! For anyone looking to get away from the noise and crowding of any city, this is the destination. As a first time user of AirBnB, I had no idea what to expect from the host and her home. Deya was patient in answering all my questions and silly request to be able to host some additional guest while saying in her home. She was warm and friendly over email and exactly the same in person.

Deya welcomed us to her home when we arrived. A small tour with some instructions on basic use of the gorgeous sauna, claw bath tub in the master bed room (I mean how cool is that??), tv remotes and Jacuzzi settings. We were enamored with all of it. The decor is exactly what it needs to be surrounded by such breath taking mountains and greenery. Dream catchers abound! Every morning when the light would shine through each window to welcome you back from dreaming....I would almost forget where I was at that point. PS. bedding is outstanding.

The outside is absolutely mesmerizing..that amazing deck so high above the rest...all you see is clear skies with every star imaginable. I forgot what stars looked like until Topanga. I forgot what stars looked like in a Jacuzzi until Deya's lovely home.

We used all her appliances to cook huge meals. She had it all, including a Panini press, which came in very handy for yummy breakfast sandwiches. The stereo was perfect just loud enough to get thrown back into 70's rock and roll (Deya has a great collection of vinyls). Just a perfect combination of old school with new school.

I highly recommend this gorgeous home to anyone looking to disconnect (the reception isn't great up there, which to me was exactly what I needed). Deya you might become a weekend tradition, we'll see you in a couple months.
