I had a wonderful stay at Paul's Guest House in Topanga! Such a peaceful place close to the beach and hiking trails. My husband, 1 year old daughter, a family friend, and I all shared this beautiful space for 3 days. It was great to have a fully equipped kitchen (pots / pans / baking dishes) to cook meals in while on vacation. The little touches like bottled water , beer and wine, creamer, coffee, bath toiletries made it all feel like staying with family. Both the futon and bed were delightfully comfortable. As others have said-the river stone floor in the spacious bathroom give the bathroom a spa quality!! And EVERYTHING is so clean!! I loved not having any worries about letting my 1 year old crawl around on the floor. We also loved the shelves available to put things on-we could stack our clothes, our luggage, etc to make the place spacious. Paul and his wife were very helpful with suggestions of places to hike , swim, surf, shop. They really are as nice as everyone says. The ability to use their beach chairs, boogie boards, and beach towels helped make my daughter's first trip to the beach a success. I unreservedly recommend this property!
