We loved our stay! Javier welcomed us shortly after we arrived and made sure we had everything we needed. I admit, as flatlanders from MN, we were initially intimidated by the steep grade of the driveway, but we quickly got used to it and started feeling like a local as we navigated the twists and turns of the roads in the beautiful Santa Monica Mountains. Javier and Kerry provided hiking recommendations, which we explored and would never have found without their directions. We so enjoyed the peace and quiet of the place, and it was pleasant to listen to the quiet cooing and clucking of the chickens. Kerry and Javier's place was well appointed, having everything we needed for our stay. Topanga is a charming area, and we felt happily removed from the busyness of the greater LA area. Just what we were looking for!
