I live in Studio City and I love going to Topanga for a staycation since it's so serene. The guest house was super cute and unique. My boyfriend and I had a relaxing, chilled out time there. We hiked (got a bit lost, but eventually found the right trail, def ask Erica for help, I wish I did). It's best if you aren't planning on cooking a whole lot at this house and also if you don't mind being close to the main house/hiking trails where hikers go by the bedroom windows. It wasn't often, but we did get surprised a couple times. There is a steel fence right by the bedroom, but it doesn't offer much privacy. The guest house is close drive from the romantic Inn at the Seventh Ray which is def worth it for a dinner out. Erica had great communication and her place is nice for a casual one night stay, but if you are looking for a romantic break a higher canyon view and more privacy is probably a better bet. The place is def the best value in the canyon though and it's very charming and convenient location to Topanga restaurants and 25 min drive down to the beach.
