My Boyfriend and I stayed here with our two dogs. On the day we arrived we agreed with the property manager we would arrive by 12 noon, but we got stuck in traffic, so when I informed Sylvia(property manager )of this she was very firm on us coming the time we said as Sylvia said she had to leave shortly after checking us in,we almost got in an accident and argued due to stress of this,when we arrived we were met with some hostility because my dogs and her dog were supposed to meet a certain way and didn't. We were shown the place,then Sylvia was around all day. The place It is quant, if you are not into a lot of space, when I asked the square footage before I booked Sylvia did not know although she lives here.The apartment looks bigger in the pictures. The place was not very clean, the bedroom was very small and the mattress very uncomfortable, Sylvia offered to bring another mattress but we slept on the couch instead. The washer worked fine but the dryer was not functional no matter how many times you tried to dry your clothes, the hot water seemed to be hot only after Sylvia was awake in the mornings, I tried to take a bath at 1am once,but got no hot water at all even after running the water for 10 min, very peculiar. Also you knew when Sylvia was awake as she liked to get into the backyard hot tub naked in the mornings when my boyfriend was letting out our dogs. Sylvia's dog seemed friendly Pablo is a rescue dog he wasn't really social, one day he bit my dog. One night there was other tenants having a party in the backyard I didn't get sleep until 4am they were so loud, most of the time it was quite during our stay.Besides all that the Topanga area is great! Loved the vibe and the people, everyone was very friendly, lots of fun hiking trails and biking. I grew up in LA so I was familiar with the area already. The overall experience was not good. Would only recommend this place if your not looking for space, privacy or cleanliness.
