We had an absolute blast staying in Sylvia's Topanga cottage.

The location is beautiful - in the hills of Topanga Canyon, just outside Santa Monica. It's secluded, yet accessible, you make the drive down the mountain in 15 to 20 minutes.

Nothing was forgotten when they designed this cottage and the place is meticulously upkept. From the gardens outside, to the fully stocked kitchen inside (Note: you will NOT need to bring a wine opener/or glasses) everything is conveniently located.

Our host, Sylvia, was an absolute sweetheart. She had Breakfast made on Saturday morning and served it to the door of our cottage on beautifully crafted dinnerwear. I cannot speak highly enough of her. She's the type of host that will give you space to enjoy, yet also be eager to help you find directions to a hiking trail, organic juice shop, or a local wine tasting event.

All in all we had a great experience, we will be coming back to Topanga Canyon, and we'll be staying in Sylvia's cottage when we do!
