I fell in love with Topanga because of Lydia's Airbnbs. This is the second time that I've stayed at one of Lydia's properties (the previous time was at She's A Beauty) and it was another wonderful experience. The views are breathtaking and the airy setup and décor perfectly complement the natural, bohemian atmosphere. You can't beat the location: You're secluded enough to feel like you've escaped from city life (not to mention are totally immersed in the beautiful surroundings—there's some incredible hiking just up the hill) but you're still close enough to grocery stores, restaurants, and other amenities in both Topanga and Malibu. Lydia is a gracious host who responds quickly to messages.
