My husband, my sister and I stayed here for a week in March. We enjoyed our stay. It was a nice location to visit LA and Malibu and do some hiking. The town of Topanga is very cute and everyone is friendly. Lisa was a great host bringing us water jugs, logs for the fire and fresh eggs. I will say I was expecting a much more spectacular view of the mountains based on the listing description and other reviewers, but in my opinion, there wasn't a whole lot to look at. The other thing to keep in mind is there is not a lot of privacy as the two bedrooms are right next to each other and separated by an accordian style door with slats so light shined right through. You could also hear the slightest noises in the other rooms. If it had just been my husband and I this would have been fine, but with three of us there, it was hard for anyone to sleep in if one person was up. Overall, we had a nice time, but these are a few things I would have appreciated knowing beforehand.
