The Hacienda Hideaway is a wonderful little listing in the Topanga hills, very close to the valley, the coastline, and many local haunts and hiking trails. We stayed for a weekend in January 2016 and loved it!

There's a full-size refrigerator, a double hot plate, and a small toaster oven, plus a full-size sink, so we were able to shop for groceries and did perfectly well throughout even without visiting the main house (where there are even more amenities).

The laundry room is just above this listing, so you'll frequently hear the washer or dryer going, but we didn't mind that at all (we actually wondered what the sound was for the first full day - we're dense like that).

The bed has plenty of space for two, as does the spacious couch. Both are comfy-cozy and perfect for a couple getting away for the weekend.

The shower could use a bit more water pressure but it's perfectly acceptable for a house as rustic as this. The toilet handle is a bit high but my girlfriend was able to reach (she's 5'2").

Protip: the paperwork in the listing mentions that you need to "run the hot water" to activate the water heater for the whole flat. That means running the shower's hot water (left handle). It wasn't an issue for us but we were momentarily confused by the statement.

The whole property is great - you drive past all the other listings on the way up to the Hacidenda Hideaway - and we'd happily stay in any of them. The hosts are super nice and the surrounding terrain is gorgeous. We heartily recommend any of David's listings to anyone looking for a back-to-nature vacation.
