I had a wonderful time in Topanga cottage with my two daughters. The place is spacious and has its own style and ambience. Every room has everything you might need from kitchenware and bathrobes to earphones, and great dvd collection too! We found the mattresses to be perfect: firm but not too much. The bathroom has a very interesting designer style, not very modern, but it is perfectly functional. There's no air conditioner, however it's not that hot even on a summer day, thanks to a lovely garden around the house, and there still is a couple of fans.
Sylvia is a very welcoming hostess, who would always help us around, recommending nice local places to visit, etc. And she's just a great pleasure to talk to!
