Sophie made sure everything was neat, clean, and in order before we arrived at her beautiful studio! The home is lovely- tucked away in the mountains to feel secluded enough, but not too far from Santa Monica/Malibu to feel isolated. Topanga is a cool little area to explore and Sophie's place is in close proximity to all the adorable restaurants/shops in town. There's an organic juice place just down the road that's great. The tiny farmers market on Friday mornings is a must as well. Overall, Sophie made us feel very welcome and the location of the studio is just phenomenal.
