I almost don't want to write a review because it feels like this place should be a secret. We wanted to have a getaway for our 20th wedding anniversary and Hilltopia turned out to be the perfect place. Yvette and Mick are warm, gracious, and attentive hosts. They even had a welcome bottle of sparkling wine for us and a cute little "Happy Anniversary" balloon. The property is a perfect, cozy little nest looking out over Laurel Canyon. I highly recommend curling up in bed with a cup of coffee and watching the sun rise over the hills. We loved watching the ravens swoop by every day (and the red tail hawks nesting nearby). Having Hilltopia as our home base to come back to after adventuring around to see local sites (the Gamble House in Pasadena, the Griffith Observatory, and, of course, the Rainbow Bar & Grill) was great. We finished up every day having a glass of wine and watching the light change and listening to the ravens call across the canyon (we even heard coyotes on our last night there). Visitors should be prepared for navigating narrow, winding roads (and should definitely rent a compact car). Otherwise, just be ready to relax and enjoy the view. We will definitely be staying again!

We had a wonderful stay at Hilltopia while in town for a wedding at the Houdini Estate. The space was just as described in the hills of Laurel Canyon with a great view. Mick was very helpful on arrival showing us the space and getting our van parked for our stay and checking in via text throughout our stay. Ubering was the easy way to get around. The kitchen was well stocked, bathroom clean and bed super comfortable. Thanks!

This place is a dream! It is well located with easy access to Hollywood and Beverly Hills. The place is immaculate and even better than the listing photos. It is very quiet and the view is spectacular. Mick and Yvette were so welcoming and made us feel at home. I would strongly recommend this house to anybody and we will surely be back very soon.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hilltopia. This is a special place tucked up in the canyon, but is amazingly accessible to the city. Experiencing Los Angeles from this home-away-from-home was a real treat. The views are even more spectacular than we expected. (If you're heights-averse, this is not the place for you.) We appreciated the attention to detail throughout. The furnishings are serene and comfortable. We were even greeted with a welcome basket of goodies. Mick & Yvette are friendly, gracious hosts who seem like cool people. They strike a nice balance of being nearby in case we needed anything while being hands-off during our stay. Thank you for a fantastic experience! We wouldn't hesitate to return. -Rod & Lisa

The apartment was immaculate. Very carefully put together with all new everything. View of the mountains and canyon were breathtaking. Hosts were wonderful people.

Yvette and Mick make you feel at home in this top of the line property. The views are outstanding and watching the wildlife is a such a pleasure. It was a peaceful spot and the sunrises over LA were cinematic!
