We had a wonderful week here! Everything was incredibly clean, with upscale kitchen appliances and very comfortable beds. It's private and so quiet; we spent tons of time on the balcony off of the huge upstairs bedroom. The kitchen is stocked with what we needed to cook simple meals, but be sure to note there is not a dishwasher! The downstairs bathroom is amazing: clean, spacious, updated, and has incredible water pressure. The bathtub was a huge hit with our young kids.
A few items worth noting:
While dogs are kindly allowed, there are some things to consider depending on your situation. The primary entrance (upstairs) has no direct access to the yard. The downstairs entrance leads directly to the yard. The stair treads inside are freshly refinished and have open risers. Our older dog couldn't go up or down without help (and truthfully it was a little nerve-racking having our 3 year old use them without supervision). The yard is only partially fenced.
The driveway was great to have and a rare find in Topanga, but be aware it is gravel and somewhat steep. Make sure your parking brake is working!
Thanks again to Orpaz for a peaceful stay!
