Excellent, excellent, excellent. I hadn't been to Los Angeles in decades, came for a wedding in Malibu. I'd forgotten how many facets L.A. has and Topanga Canyon is now one of my favorites. Out of the hustle of Malibu but certainly close enough for a visit. Maria's cottage is impeccable, well designed, and very comfortable. And peaceful. The photos are accurate. Everything you need in the kitchen. Comfortable bed. Nice bathroom and shower. Wonderful patio with a huge grapevine full of grapes (at least while we were there!).
