Wow! While the drive up the mountain roads might be intimidating (take it slow), the view from the top is incredible! Nick was an incredibly kind host who thought of every detail, and he even loaned me a spare monitor for my laptop whose screen was broken so that I could work. Everything you need for your stay is accounted for, and the peace and quiet of this spot as well as the quirkiness of Topanga made every detail of the trip a relaxing getaway. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nick’s place to anyone wanting an escape from the hustle of city life.
Do note that there is no cell signal here or for about 20-25 minute drive from the house. Nick’s Wi-Fi is lightning fast, so you can text using iMessage and stream everything you need to, but you can’t receive non-iMessage texts or make or receive calls. It’s not a detractor, but it ended up being an issue when I had something happen at home and I couldn’t be reached; I didn’t know until I hit the PCH. Still, it’s worth every dollar!
