Deb's place is exactly as described - actually nicer! Deb communicated exactly what we needed to know and do to make our stay very easy and relaxing.

The location in Topanga is perfect. It is an easy 10 minute drive "up the hill" from the Pacific Coast highway between Santa Monica and Malibu (there is a public access beach right at the bottom of the hill as well.) When you get to the "treehouse" - you are isolated in an extremely private little mountain retreat with a beautiful view.

Deb has thought of everything. She leaves a personal guidebook to the area that she created herself. There is tons of Keurig Coffe and Teas with milk and sugar, toaster oven, cold filtered water, fridge, hairdryer, plenty of towels, a nice bathroom with high end soaps and shampoos, very comfortable bed, TV hidden away in a little wardrobe (you probably won't watch it - I watched just a little football before bedtime), very fast high speed internet (verizon cell service is strong there as well), swing chair for two with a beautiful mountain view, and nice deck with chairs as well.

Topanga itself is awesome. The state park is right there. We did a 6 mile hike to "Eagle Rock" which affords 360 degree views of the area - you can see the coast in one direction and valleys and mountains in the other - absolutely beautiful.

We explored the little shops, ate at Cafe Mimosa, Inn of the Seventh Ray, and the Topanga Table - all of which were excellent.

Thanks Deb for providing such a great place to stay and explore Topanga - while also being close to everything LA has to offer! Out of all of our many trips to LA - this was the nicest place we have stayed...
