My family had a fabulous stay at Renee's house! The home was large and located in beautiful Topanga Canyon. It's unbelievable how remote it feels, while being a short drive to the ocean, Santa Monica, and/or Woodland Hills (where there are plenty of shops and restaurants withing a 12 minute drive of the house). The house is a lived-in space, but in the best of ways, especially if you have young kids. There are so many toys, and the yard includes a trampoline and swing set! Our host, Renee, was responsive and super nice. We wouldn't hesitate to return!
