A Wonderful Home

This is such a comfortable home for a stay in the LA area. And it is truly a unique home that makes you feel like settling in for your stay. We’ve stayed in many vrbo homes in the States and Europe and this has become our favorite. We were a group that included grandparents, young couples and a small child and everyone enjoyed their stay. Everything is as described in the listing, the house is very well equipped with everything you need, hosts are very welcoming and helpful and the area is really enjoyable. We could not recommend it more highly.

A lovely home

It was a true pleasure to stay in this home. The location was away from the bustle of the city, but close enough to be convenient to a number of attractions, hiking, and the airport. The home itself is obviously adored by her owners and well maintained. We would stay here again!

This was a home, not just a house. There were personal touches that made the house perfect. The little things made a huge difference from other places I have stayed. If we decided to go back to this area I would 100% rent this house again.

Cute house

The property was great, loved it for having coffee on the porch and hanging out with nature. The owner was cool and notified me when people were supposed to get in the backyard to water all the plants due to extreme hot weather conditions.

Get away from the city and enjoy this beautiful, home! Inside is cozy and comfortable! The back deck is so relaxing with the tropical setting. Hot tub and table tennis were a bonus! The hikes up the streets to peacock hunt were an adventure as well! :) Great spot to unplug!

Slice of paradise

My family and I, including a 13 month old baby, stayed in this beautiful home. We had an incredible visit, everything we needed was available, We took advantage of the hot tub outside, as well as all of the anomalies in the house. My family stayed up doing puzzles, and enjoyed all the walking available around us. I highly recommend this property, as the owners of the property, or extremely accommodating and friendly as well.

Beautiful Stay in Beautiful Topanga

We were hoping for a break from our east coast city life in a completely different environment. Kris and Diana's house gave us exactly what we needed! The house is spacious, homey and comfortable with everything we could possibly want. The property is just beautiful. Kris and Diana were always responsive to any concern we had, it was truly a pleasure to be there. When we left it felt like we were leaving our home. If we're ever in the area again we would definitely want another visit.

Topanga Magic

What a beautiful home! Diana and Kris were such gracious hosts! Everything about my stay was even better than I had expected. The property is gorgeous and so peaceful. The outdoor space is epic with breathtaking views. The flora and fauna were spectacular. Hearing the wild peacocks call while the mist rolled through the canyons was an enchanted experience. The communication and accommodation offered by Kris and Diana was fantastic, and they made my stay so very comfortable. Would definitely recommend and will return!

A Really Nice Topanga Canyon Stay

We are local to L.A., and needed to vacate our own home for a couple of weeks and found Kris and Diana’s listing in Topanga Canyon. We feel like we made a great choice. The house is very comfortable and fully stocked, the location ideal if you are looking for access to both the beaches and the tourist attractions of Universal City and Hollywood. The hosts checked in regularly to make sure we had everything we needed and offer information on places to eat, places to hike, etc. They very much made us feel like their home was our home for the time we were there. Check in and check out could not have been easier. If you are looking for a Topanga Canyon experience, this is a fine choice.
