The home is very very beautiful, the view is stunning, hosts are really flexible and kind, and the hot tub and outdoor space are what makes the value superb. Very nice touch with the Nespresso! It’s a bit of a tough drive to get up there, it’s at the top of what seems like a mountain so if you are afraid of heights or tight turns I would suggest letting someone else drive :) The view is pretty worth it though. I’d always wanted to visit Topanga and it’s worth the hype, it looks like a different country really.
Just some more traveler notes…If you are traveling with a party of 6 this fits more like 5, which was fine because we ended up splitting up anyway but keep that in mind if you’re a larger group. Also I suggest using some rubber sandals for the bathroom bc it is all kind of open in there so the floor gets real wet if someone’s taken a shower and you need to use the sink/toilet. It gets real slippery. And last thing, this was likely in the fine print but someone lives right above and you can hear them pretty well from down below, so if you’re a light sleeper maybe this isn’t the place for you, although the folks up there were very quiet at night (it was just in the morning we all seemed to wake up from something going on up there).
Overall, if you have time to explore Topanga, this would be a great place to stay. Super beautiful and the outdoor space is soooo lovely and relaxing. Just keep in mind the slight details and you’ll have a great time.
