Very pretty, large, tastefully finished and appointed cottage to stay while visiting LA. The hosts were very nice and dealt with the few issues we had very quickly. The pool is lovely and the hot tub was also perfect for helping us relax. The setting is also pretty incredible - up near the top of a mountain in the Topanga Canyon with long views of greenery in all directions.

All of the buildings on the property are built according to a nice vintage, handmade, wooden aesthetic and this contributes to the cool Topanga vibe.

The one thing I would state is we were glad we rented an SUV because the long driveway and a lot of the roads in the area are very steep and would be a little treacherous in a car with low clearance or lacking horsepower.

The location, though it seems very remote when you are there, is actually very convenient for visiting Malibu, Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades, Venice, Marina Del Ray which are IMO some of the nicest parts of LA. Though there is about a 30 minute drive to Santa Monica, it's not usually in traffic, is very scenic and is down mountain roads with nice views so it is actually pretty fun as opposed to normal LA city driving.

We will almost definitely return to this place.
