Although the house is close to Topanga Canyong Blvd it is located on quiet street and you do not hear traffic noise. No problem parking on street. It is convenient to 101 FWY (5 mins) and beaches and PCH (15-20 mins). Room was clean and comfortable. Julie and Karin are great gals, very welcoming in making me feel at home. They always asked me how my day was and invited me to join them for a drink or meal. I stayed 6 nights and was out all day every day so I really did not take them up on their hospitality. But it was still nice to feel included .
