The guest house is situated atop a mountain in Topanga. It has AMAZING views of Malibu and the Pacific. I spent most of my time in L.A. at the guest house either outside taking in the view or inside at the table studying --taking in the view through the windows!! It is tastefully appointed and I slept well. It is a place of solitude and peace. One morning I was visited by a family of quail and a young deer by the back patio! Nick and Ellen are accommodating and responsive and both are very nice people. Can't say enough about this place!
