David the host was very kind and i felt secure as a woman traveling alone in his little « Topanga wonderland » . The canyons are exquisite and all his rentals have a special touch. Like everyone said, it’s all about the magic of the canyons experiences, not a hotel experience. It’s like being on a set of a Netflix show. Just saying. The size of the French quarter is good and you practically have the attached community kitchen for yourself. I was there 4days and the people i met were nice and polite. The price is good for the famous Topanga. No AC so check the weather alert during Summer time. David was cool enough to assemble an extra new fan for my room just in case. I personally loved it!
