Gordon was incredibly friendly and welcoming on his property in this wonderful Topanga neighborhood. We stayed over the holidays, so our communication was limited pre-arrival and while I had the address, I wasn't totally clear how to enter, etc. But when we made it to the cabin next to the house, we were happy to find it open. The cabin is artsy, totally made with love. The only down-side was that the incredibly high-winds (not typical) caused a septic smell to drive us out early in the AM. Gordon said this wasn't the norm, but I would certainly check on the weather for the time of year your booking.
