Darrell was out of town on buisness during most of our stay so we were greeted by his handyman Cristobal. He took us to where we would be staying and showed us around! My husband and I were overwhelmed at the detail and authenticity of Darrell's property. The place is truly magical. Topanga canyon is beautiful. It is placed perfectly inbetween Malibu, LA, and Santa Monica. If you want a place to get away from the city, Topanga Canyon is the place for you.
