I would not recommend this room because it is inaccurate and over priced. I understand that the general vibe of Topanga is creative and handmade shacks in the mountains, however the general construction of the space I find to be raunchy and doesn’t meet value that I paid for. If the photos of the space included a detailed view of the stone wall that’s painted and spray foamed and then covered by some fabric right behind the bed I wouldn’t have booked it. The room was not clean and had a terrible odor like bad fragrance masking vomit. The floors were dirty and stains on the carpet and bedding.
The unit was described as peaceful and private disregarding the shared amenities but does not accurately describe the location of the unit within a larger campus or units. There was an event being prepared for on Saturday night in the kitchen, a shared space which had been described as barely used. Someone throwing a party right outside my door is pretty unacceptable. People are constantly coming through the space and playing the piano. To improve I would include photos of the shared spaces, the kitchen, the door connecting the unit to the kitchen and the property at large so you can tell just how crowded it can been and clearly not private. Communicate clearly that parties and gatherings are held in the space you share a wall with.
We reserved three nights and left after the first night. I honestly feel scammed. I like camping, glamping, cabins, yurts, all the things. I’m an artist and appreciate when creative minds make beautiful things with available materials. Calling something artist made because it’s poorly constructed is insulting to an artist who exhibits true craftsmanship. This place just wasn’t that. What a scam.
