Thad and Piper could not have been nicer! And the guesthouse was perfect for me: quiet and secluded amongst the trees overlooking Topanga Canyon. I hope I'll get a chance to stay again. Convenient parking, lighted pathways, great kitchen and dining area. Very large bedroom is down a small spiral staircase also accessible via the front decks/balconies. Large bathroom with great shower. Closet, plenty of towels, etc. etc. Very, very comfortable. Nothing negative to report. The guesthouse is about a 15 minute drive from PCH/Topanga Canyon Road. Similarly, a 15 minute drive from the guesthouse in the opposite direction will take you to the valley where a Whole Foods, Equinox gym, etc. can be found.
All great if you want to experience some beaches and nature in LA.
