Magnificent location with just spectacular views. Deya's home evokes nostalgia, wonderment and relaxation. The magic of staying in Topanga was only enhanced by all of Deya's personal touches. We listened to records and drank wine chalices, mason jars, not mention beautiful glassware. The kitchen was fully stocked with sharp, top grade knives, pots and appliances for great meals. Plants abound. How she takes care of so many has me baffled.
Our only challenge was the heat. Our decision to rent in August. We did so in order to take our boys to surf camp for the week in Malibu without struggling to get all the way across Los Angeles. There were fans in every room, and somehow the kids were still able to spend hours in the hot tub. The heat is always a challenge around here. With any luck, Deya will get air conditioning and never be able to get rid of us.
I highly recommend spending some weekdays here when the beach traffic is less severe. The drive up and down the canyon is way better than the 101!!
