I've been using AirBnb for over 5 years, and I love this platform. I've never written a review for a place though, and felt Kerry being the first was a great and well-deserved initiation!
The place is great for a cool getaway because it's tucked below their home. No matter how hot it gets outside (I stayed here in July!) It still remains cool in their home even in the afternoon! We used their grill which was a great way to move the hot cooking outside!
There are plenty of pots, pans, and a full kitchen's worth of goods which is great especially for a long stay. The washer/dryer is right around the corner which is very convenient when living out of your suitcase! Drying rack is available as well for line-drying which is a personal favorite of mine.
Her husband, Javier, brought us fresh eggs on some of the mornings and they're so delicious.
I will note, be aware cell service is sparse here, so plan ahead with directions and getting rides if you tend to use services like Lyft or Uber. Kerry mentions there are ride services serving Topanga specifically.
The clawfoot bathtub is amazing, and the shower gets really high-pressure and warm very quickly.
A lot of closet space including a full set of drawers, ample amount of wood hangers, and open storage space makes this a great longterm stay.
Kerry and Javier are just warm-hearted, approachable and incredibly kind people and I felt really comfortable being there alone during most of my stay. This means so much for me.
I will say: keep in mind for critters! Since this place is on the bottom floor it tends to get spiders and other things crawling at times. I got a few bug bites, but nothing lasting.
I will absolutely plan to come back when I consider a longterm stay in Topanga! Thank you again, Kerry! <3
