We had a wonderful stay at the Private Mountain Retreat. The location is amazing. Halfway down Topanga Canyon Blvd is perfect if you want to go into Santa Monica or Malibu or if you want to go into the city. The studio was super clean and had everything we needed. Sophie even had snacks and waters available and treats for a pet if you bring one.
Sophie gave us total privacy but was quick to respond to any questions I had and made extending our stay an extra day effortless. I will definitely look to stay here again next time I'm in LA.
