Loved staying at Marissa's place. It is private and so much nicer than it looks in the photos. It had everything we needed for our 3 night stay. While the road to their place is twisty, it is easy to find and instructions were super clear. I have been to LA a bunch of times but never to Topanga and wow is it incredible. 20 minutes from Santa Monica and boom -- it's like you are in a remote area. Lovely day hikes, close to the ocean, super chill vibe. The road to/from Tuna Canyon is incredibly beautiful (with some white knuckle turns). My only complaint is that the bed is super soft -- which I know is a matter of preference. We like firmer mattresses and found this one way too mushy. Other than that, the place was ideal.
