My wife and I stayed at Deb's place for a few nights at the end of our honeymoon trip out to California. Her house is located in a beautiful spot - toward the top of a winding mountain road above Topanga Canyon, just a short drive from Malibu. We really felt like we were tucked away in another world, despite how close we were to such a busy area.
The studio is beautiful - cozy and inviting, with just what we needed for a relaxing weekend before the end of our vacation. The kitchenette is simple but has the necessities for coffee/tea and simple meals prepared with a convection toaster oven. The bed was extremely comfortable and the bathroom was very spacious and well-kept. We loved the outdoor seating areas - the views are even better in person. Topanga is a quiet town with a few shops, restaurants, and sights to see, and was the perfect place for a low-key trip.
Deb was very accommodating and helpful - she was always quick to respond in answer to any questions that we had and was attentive to our needs. We arrived later than expected, but Deb kindly met us outside to ensure we didn't miss the house, and she made sure to say goodbye before we departed a few days later. Oh, and the gluten-free cookies really are delicious!
We'd definitely enjoy visiting Deb's Treehouse again if we're ever in the area - highly recommended!
