What a lovely place. I had never stayed in Topanga before, and it was exactly what I was hoping for. Lauren’s place is tucked away, and feels like a worlds away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The place is only 15 minutes from the beach, so it made it easy to catch the sunrise and sunset in Malibu. There are also some great nearby shops, restaurants, and trails that Lauren included on her guide. The place itself was very peaceful and felt extremely safe. It is a little bit of a tricky drive up a steep narrow road, but nothing undoable - just something to be aware of. Highly recommend this spot to anyone and hope to be able to come back and visit again soon!
