Funky tiny guest quarters on a mountain road in Topanga. Good for single traveler who doesn’t mind disarray. No screens on most windows. Front screen door didn’t close tight. Yard had trash in it when we arrived. Had about a half dozen exchanges with the host who nevertheless criticized our lack of communication and scolded us for not following her ambiguous and difficult to comprehend directions for everything from parking to trash sorting and using only designated products in the unit.
Parking for this unit is narrow, on the roadside just before a hairpin curve. Host left four pages of instructions in addition to the house booklet. Stood over us as we finished cleaning everything (including scrubbing a dirty oven) and packed up at the appointed hour of 11am.
The area has a lot to offer, though, and we enjoyed meeting other people in our travels. Took a walk along the ocean overlook in Tuna Canyon (don’t follow host directions, the landmarks mentioned don’t exist). Topanga Rocks and Pebbles had good shopping. We had (another) memorable dinner at Inn of the Seventh Ray and met locals over coffee and lunch at Cafe Mimosa. Riding horseback on Old Topanga Rd was a lot of fun. Omar was a great guide.
