Thad made us feel very welcome, always available when we had questions and very helpful. The apartment was gorgeous and had everything you could possibly need. Very private. Bedroom is really spacious and lovely and cool in the summer heat. The area is quiet and the balcony is a delightful place to sit for a relaxing evening after a long day hiking. It's very close to many hiking areas such as Topanga State Park, Temescal SP and - our favourite - Paramount Ranch. We had a fabulous stay and will definitely be back!
