We really enjoyed staying at Mary's house and would definitely recommend it to a friend. Mary couldn't have been nicer or more responsive before, during, and after our stay and we appreciated her welcoming our family and small dog. The home itself is authentically Topanga (which we loved) filled with interesting art and touches that made it feel like a loved home. The deck is truly amazing and we spent most of our time on the deck or front patio drinking coffee or a glass of wine after a day at the beach. Wonderful views and really enjoyable experience.
