If you are looking for a quiet place not far from Los Angeles this is the place to be. The Topanga canyon is very lovely and the spot is 10 minutes from the ocean and 20 minutes from Monica Beach. The quest house has every thing you need. Paul and Ursula are very friendly and helpful. The dogs (golden retrievers) are so cute and well trained. The next time we will visit LA we defenitely want to go to this place.
