We found this super cozy place in the canyon of Topanga, south of Calabasas and just North of Malibu! Great access to the beaches (Malibu, Santa Monica, and Venice) and the surrounding little town in the Hills.
We went to a little restaurant there (Cafe on 27) in the Hills, packed in the evenings, so we went early the next morning, great Brunch spot! We had access to the pool and Hot Tub, so that was great after a day of walking the trail at the "Top of Topanga" Lookout trail, and the beaches!
Great location, GREAT host, and super awesome little "cottage" type place to stay! Would definitely book with them again, next time we're in LA!
