We enjoyed our time at Thaddeus' guest house! It was reasonably priced, he was very accessible to communicate with, and it gave us easy access to all sorts of things in the area. My husband and I especially appreciated the easy access to the trail system in the Topanga Canyon State Park and had a lovely hike through the wildflowers up to Eagles Peak. The kitchen is well stocked for gear if you want to cook. Our 14 year old slept in the nook off of the kitchen, and we were able to use the exterior stairs to get up earlier and make coffee before she got up, which was nice. Staying here is like staying at a friend's place, rather than a corporate real estate holding, which means it is homey and nice, but not all new stuff and spotless like a hotel would be. We appreciated this about it.
