Lauren was very responsive and helpful. The place was exactly as shown in pictures. It felt on the colder side inside the apartment during December for us. We came from another country and aren’t used to the windy/mountainy roads - beware this location requires an experienced driver and/or very cautious driving, as well as knowing where your high beams are on rental cars ;) On that note, going to LA “proper” for touristy activities was a journey due to the time it takes to get in or out of the Topanga mountains, especially during the night when it’s pitch black. All things of no fault to the host. Would be great for hiking (keep in mind there are wild animals)… it was raining a lot during our stay so we didn’t try.
Overall, beautiful location and would recommend!
