If you want to be able to walk to get coffee or lunch/dinner this is a great place to stay. But....if you are looking for a peaceful place to stay this is not it. Others mentioned the road noise but its more than that. You are on the main highway so all day you hear cars. It quiets down at night which is great but its constant during the day. I couldn't imagine hanging out on the lounge chairs (even if they weren't covered in dirt and leaves).
The space is also not very peaceful. It is hippy decor and there is nowhere to put your own things. So within the first day we were using our cooler as a coffee table and felt like our things were just everywhere.
If you are coming for a weekend and will only be sleeping here its fine. But for a romantic 4 day trip I was actually really bummed not to have a peaceful place to come back to after exploring Topanga and the beach.
The shower is nice. The hosts are great. And the location is sweet if you want to walk to things.
