Mathias and Swanny are such lovely hosts and their property is a little slice of a heaven - a shady, modest paradise central to the hustle, bustle, and opulence of Malibu and PCH. We were 20 mins away from our friend's wedding venue, friends in Calabasas, and a quiet beach just south of Topanga. The studio had everything we needed for our young family: Big bed for wife, husband, and toddler, and enough space for our newborn to sleep in a crib nearby but not too close. In the morning we made breakfast, sat under a canopy of oak trees, and swung on a hammock. In the evening we grilled food outside under the stars.
