We had a lovely stay in what felt like an idyllic treehouse -- tree trunks literally come right up through the deck’s floor! We felt very much above it all, not only because of the expansive views from our high perch, but also due to the 75 steps leading up to the apartment. Not having read the listing details and reviews carefully enough, we weren’t expecting the steps upon our arrival. But we soon got used to them. Nearby Malibu beaches are quick and easy day trips from the apartment, and Topanga’s town center (just minutes away) is a charming assortment of quirky boutiques and good restaurants. The apartment/treehouse itself is beautifully appointed, clean, and quiet. Lisa responded quickly to wifi difficulty we had toward the end of our week-long stay, and Dot’s granddaughter gamely helped us bring our bags down the stairs the day we left. We wish we could have stayed longer!
