Place is as advertised. Cleaning of the interior was immaculate. The outside has been very well decorated. The hot tub cover was on and hot tub was hot and ready on arrival with cleaning maintenance device in the tub. We got used to the canyon roads by our second trip and had no issues/concerns from there. For us, it was a convenient location for malibu, santa monica, and venice beach.
Biggest surprise was the shops and restaurants the local hills of Topanga offers. Seemed like people traveled out from LA to eat here. Highly reccomend cafe 27, just a few minutes from the stay. Also enjoyed endless color pizza place.
