Our stay at Denis' home was incredible. Everything about our experience both at his home, and in Topanga exceeded our expectations.
Denis lives next to the property and because he did, we would run into him at various times throughout our stay. He was thoughtful and gave us helpful tips about exploring Topanga and its history.
His home gave our family a perfect nest for life in Topanga. The home was comfortable and provided everything we needed for our two-week stay, including a fully stocked kitchen with all appliances, utensils and pots/pans someone would need, a patio for evening drinks or morning coffee, comfortable bedrooms with extra sheets and plenty of storage space, and a private entrance that made it feel like we had the entire lot to ourselves.
The home is nestled in a forest of Oak trees, making you feel each day as you enter the home like you are in a mountain oasis. This is hard to believe, too, considering it only takes about 40 minutes (with traffic) to get back to the Westside (Santa Monica!)
His home is in a very quaint neighborhood and we took advantage of walking the streets to explore. We also took advantage of the numerous local trails to go running and mountain biking on, with a number trails only five minutes away! Every night we heard the crickets outside of our windows (which you can leave open!) and we slept like babies. The house is secure with a lock code to get in or key.
Topanga itself is a gem. It's a hideaway from the big city, easily accessible by the Valley side or the ocean side. There's a local market and a handful of restaurants to choose from.
If you are looking for a hideaway, whether a few days or a few weeks, Denis' AirBnB is truly a fantastic choice.
