To start with, the space is incredible - far beyond the beauty of what is captured in the very nice photographs. The most exquisite element to this home is the amount of varied, independent spaces, each meriting their own time for reflection by oneself or in memorable conversation with others.

The large Roman Bath jacuzzi, the North African feeling breakfast patio, the hammocks, the outdoor lounge chairs overlooking the hills, the sturdy wooden dining table, the relaxing living room, the outdoor shower, the outdoor ping pong table, the fire pit, the walking trails - there is SO much this property has to offer!

The host was extremely accommodating, offering up firewood, rolled a larger grille up the hill for me, and was on call with any questions I had.

Bonus points for the indoor/outdoor speaker system!

All the best that Topanga Canyon has to offer was a stone's throw away - from the nearby markets/shops to the great hiking up Old Topanga Road. Perfectly situated (also helps that Malibu's beaches were only a 10 minute drive away).

Could not give this place a higher recommendation. This place has a special energy to it, you'll be thrilled to spend even a night with it!
