I really enjoyed my stay at Nick's ocean view guest house. It's a comfortable, private, clean and tastefully decorated space, with nice amenities (ex. cable tv/netflix, landline because cell service in Topanga can be spotty at best), as well as a small, but highly serviceable and modern kitchenette area and a spacious bathroom with a nicely designed shower/bath that was wonderfully soothing after a long hike. I also appreciated the care Nick put in to gathering various materials about Topanaga and the local environs (eats, hikes, activities), which are provided to you in an organized booklet. And the view, ah, the view. What you see in the picture is exactly what you get and it's quite a luxury to be able to sit outside and gaze out over the ocean and the Santa Monica Mountains in the distance. This was a great choice for me, because I was looking to have a "home base" in Topanga from which to go out and explore the area, while having the option to duck into LA without to much hassle.
