This was a fantastic choice for a long weekend escape in Malibu. The atmosphere is perfect--peaceful and worry free, in true Topanga fashion. The kitchen had plenty of dishes, a toaster and a hot plate, which we were not expecting, as well as an electric kettle, so we could make food and coffee for ourselves every day! The location was great for us, as we enjoyed being back in the woods but still 10 minutes away from our favorite surf break in Malibu. A few things were slight inconveniences, like nowhere to hang wet towels and limited space for bags (a shelf or luggage tray in the closet would be sooo useful!), so we ended up keeping a lot in the car, but overall it's amazing. I'd rent this place out and live here if I could. We'll be back for sure!
