The views of Topanga Canyon from the balcony are pretty spectacular and this is a special little spot! The highlights for me: the bed is super comfortable and the space was very quiet for sleeping. The water pressure in the shower is also great which can be an issue in California - nice to be able to have a hot shower after a day of hiking and beaching. The kitchen was well-equipped for making coffee and any cooking you might want to do.
There were a few problems that came up throughout my stay but Dot was very quick to offer solutions and work through them as best she could. The only warning i will make for future guests with cars: do not park anywhere near the "no parking anytime" sign as there seems to be a disgruntled neighbor situation that you could be caught in the middle of unknowingly!!
