This location is up some twisty roads in Topanga Canyon, about 10 mins from Malibu beach. With 300+ positive reviews, I was surprised that David's place was not as advertised upon arrival. Many reviewers commented it's rustic quality, akin to camping. However after staying here, I think I would rather camp. I think the vibe is supposed to be artistic and hippy, but I had a hard time as a guest with small children with the unfinished interiors (exposed building elements) and suspect building quality. Nothing appears to be to code. A window in the upstairs loft was broken, making it unsafe for kids to be up there. Overall, everything felt dirty and there was a musty smell. The location is a bit hard to find, with a windy uphill dirt road (it winds around the other buildings where some other listings are located) and unclear parking.
