This place is as beautiful as expected and as charming as in the pictures. It is a comfortable place for up to two adults and the environs could not be more serene and relaxing. Things I packed which were helpful- outdoor flip flops to use on the balcony. The internet connection is smoking fast, but the cell phone service is spotty coming up the hill, so I recommend downloading a map of Topanga prior to arrival. Bring refillable water bottles and sturdy shoes for all the local hiking you'll want to do - the neighborhood is full of little adventures just right outside the door. Bring extra bags for all the shopping you can do just a mile away from the house. Bring something warm to wear for reading on the balcony in the evenings and listening to the owls at night. Hayley was a friendly host and easy to reach and the decoration and style in the house was classic, thoughtful and comfortable. An absolute gem of a spot.
