Arriving in Topanga late at night from London, I was feeling strung out after the long flight and navigating the six lane highways of LA.
Still on UK time I awoke early the next morning and ventured outside to witness the incredible still and silent energy, and as the sun rose the jaw dropping view revealed itself as the morning mist receded. The energy of this mountainous wilderness is very special; just amazing to have this sanctuary so close to such a major city. What a contrast from London.
We had a fantastic 17 days in Topanga visiting some beautiful places; Malibu, Santa Monica, Venice amongst them, and making some special new friends. Nick and Ellen are great people and great hosts. Topanga is populated by all sorts of creative and interesting people; perhaps not a surprise given the proximity to Hollywood.
The one piece of constructive feedback I would give is that the photographs on AirBnB do not do the property or the location justice.
It is a truly magical spot and I wholeheartedly recommend this little piece of Pacific heaven to anyone wanting to visit LA.
