Thad was an excellent host. This was a perfect place for our family. We loved the privacy. Hiking is close by (State park in 1 mile south, $7 parking fee). Check-in was easy. There is a lock box at the door. We arrived after dark and the place is rather secluded. The road is easy to miss on Topanga Canyon road. There is a Triangle reflector on the road sign that helps. Look for it. Thads directions were perfect though. It's better to have them handy while arriving. The hill is steep and the turn in to the driveway is tight but once there the parking is easy and marked. I found it easier to back out of the driveway (its steep). The room itself is charming and roomy. It was super clean and everything was provided. My wife had a little trouble with the spiral staircase (she just hurt her back a few days earlier) but there is an outside stair to the lower level. It's a unique place and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a unique Airbnb!
