We had a perfect stay! La Casita is the best little hideaway: cozy, clean and tucked beautifully into a garden with amazing mountain views. Topanga is a small community, but has everything you need: restaurants, cafes, shops, hiking routes. It's also just a short drive (ca. 20 minutes) to Santa Monica or Malibu. You have no phone reception there, but the wifi works well. The communication with Christine was very friendly and easy. Highly recommended!
