The animals are a hoot, as are the mellow Topanga surroundings. And although it's rustic, this home is perfectly clean and modern--the appliances all work fine, the wi-fi signal is strong, etc. I only wish I had had more time to sack out in the hammock, chill in the hot tub, or just sit on the porch; we were on a tight schedule during our LA visit so the opportunities for such leisure were limited. I definitely hope to stay again on a future trip to LA.
