Maria's places was just as described, clean and cozy in a unique spot nestled in the canyons. The property was pretty with a natural creek running through it. It's small, but really perfect for 1 or 2 people and the kitchen was very thoughtfully stocked with everything you need to cook if you're into that. Maria left a 1/2 dozen fresh eggs right from their chicken coop for my arrival. So cool!
Communication and check in was a breeze. The small main drag of Topanga Village is only a short 5 minute drive away.
On my last day the weather took a turn and we lost some power - I only bring it up because Maria and her husband were so responsive! The rain was crazy and due do the internet being down I needed to shorten my stay. They refunded me in no time flat with no questions asked. I really appreciated the flexibility and understanding they showed.
They were great hosts and I felt very at home during my short stay. I hope to return soon.
