David's place was a great location for me and my girlfriend to spend a few days in Topanga Canyon and Malibu. The room was comfortable, and very similar to how it was described. As he mentions, this is not a typical hotel, and you can expect to feel a little more in nature. The windows are slightly older and everything is a bit more rustic feeling. Checking in was very easy, and so was check out. The room was easy to find once on the property by following David's instructions. We enjoyed easy access to cool restaurants in Topanga Canyon, and a short drive down to Malibu to visit the beaches.
