Deb's place is absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend it and it in fact does exceed your expectations. Deb was great in accommodating us at short notice. The place was immaculately clean upon arrival and the cookies are indeed delicious. I chose the place based on the presentation of the interior but what exceeds even the photographs is the experience of the outdoor space. Sitting there, you have this sense of the depth of the Topanga Valley and have two unique vantage points from the higher and lower seating positions. I highly recommend Deb's place is you are looking for a place to relax while staying in style.
