Marlene's house is beautiful, and the perfect location for hiking! there's a short trail you can access right from the backyard, but we also walked about 12 minutes away to a trail that led to "Top O'Topanga", which was beautiful!
room was very clean, beds were comfortable, and bathroom and shower were great.
I've lived in LA my whole life but had never been to Topanga, and I'm so happy I finally visited! the scenery is beautiful, and there are lots of cute shops and restaurants as well. Marlene made our trip super easy and her home was so welcoming and relaxing.
