Perfect location for exploring Topanga. They did a very nice job with their contemporary update on a beautiful site. We loved the views, the quiet and the sense of calm especially in the main living/dining level.
We enjoyed our stay but found a few issues that made the property less appealing to us:
If you intend to cook a lot, the kitchen was under equipped for a luxury rental. There was only one chef’s knife which had to be sharpened to be usable, there were no measuring cups, the cookware was all IKEA and all the pans had scratched non-stick coatings.
There were no screens on the operable windows, and while there were not a lot of bugs, there were enough during our stay that it made it unpleasant to leave them open after dark.
If you are sensitive to smells/chemicals, I would make sure to communicate that to the host before hand. When we arrived there were a number of air-wick plug-ins running throughout the house and the chemical smell took several days to clear.
