This was a wonderful place to stay. The somewhat dim photos in the posting do not do justice to how nice it really is. It is a warmly decorated and lit space with wonderful views out the windows that allows you to appreciate the scenic environment. Lots of small touches that enhanced the experience, including the record player with some classic vinyls, lemons from the trees in the yard, the local Topanga newspaper. the guest house is impeccably clean, surprisingly spacious for a studio, and the check in/out process was very convenient and instructions were clear. The location is just off the heart of Topanga that gives you easy access to the forest, beach and valley. It was the perfect hub for a variety of cultural activites we planned. The bed was very comfortable, the AC was great, and the unit felt very private. We highly recommend.
