Where to start? Tara's listing was perfect for that classic magical stay in Topanga that I'd been dreaming of ...It was my first real visit to the area and I could not have been happier. The place is perfect!! The photos can't even do it justice. Tara was an incredible host and she went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. I loved most that the entire experience actually felt like what airbnb intended when it began-- the intimacy of someone sharing an apartment adjacent to their home with a guest, including all their local tips for the area, a warm generous hospitality etc...while also still giving lots of space, privacy and amenities that might come with a more typical hotel stay. Truly looking forward to returning!
