Dot and Lisa’s place in Topanga is an absolute gem! If you’re looking to explore not only LA but also the surrounding areas and beaches, this is the perfect place to stay.
The house is located in a quiet cul-de-sac on the border of Topanga State Park and only a brief drive away from Malibu and Santa Monica. It’s a lovely place, very colourful and personal. Everything was super clean and we had everything we needed to cook dinner and enjoy it on the large balcony overlooking the hills.
Dot and Lisa were both incredibly helpful - they provided all the information we needed about finding the house, great places to visit in the area and tips for scenic drives around LA (drive down Sunset Boulevard!). We loved that they thought about every little detail - thank you so much for the coffee and orange juice in the fridge! When there was a brief but unexpected power cut in the entire Topanga area during our stay, Dot and Lisa were super prepared and great at keeping us informed about the situation.
Of course, since you’ll be staying in the hills around LA, be prepared to walk up a couple of steps to get to the house - the views are more than worth it though :)
