We arrived late for a 3 night stay at this Topanga guesthouse, but had no trouble getting settled assisted by the clear the instructions left by the host. The living/dining room area has a panoramic view of the surrounding wooded hillside with some views of distant ridge peaks across the canyon. It was difficult to get moving in the morning to get business done in Westwood and Santa Monica, when dawdling over tea and the morning paper with this view was much more inviting. Overall, we had a comfortable stay despite the heatwave that weekend, and we would highly recommend this guesthouse.
