When I pulled up to the house there was a big party / art show going on, I was expecting to have a secluded Topanga Hideaway and was greeted by over 50 guests. The host did not warn me of a gathering happening. Otherwise I would’ve cancelled my booking. I didn’t feel safe leaving my things in the room with so many people right by my unit. There was no place to park, the road is very steep to get there. You have to have 4 wheel drive. The apartment is connected to a communal home. It is not secluded. And when I entered into the unit there were ants all over the kitchen, they got into my bags even though I made sure to leave no food out. I found an ear wig in my bag as well. It was a terrible experience. Flies & moths in the room as well. The bathroom was not clean and very awkward. There is no AC or fan in the unit so it’s stuffy & hot. The bed & pillows was extremely uncomfortable, the comforter looked used and people used my patio area all night long as well. I was again expecting something secluded and wasn’t expecting it to be a very busy communal space. If you are into communal living & parties then definitely book. But if you want a secluded experience do not book here. I’m all for community, art & parties but I booked Topanga to have a quiet & cozy night — a warning from the host would’ve been nice.
