I cannot say enough about this adorable little cottage! When you enter you feel a calmness set in. The tiny windows fill the space with natural light and beautifully draped fabrics add a warmth to each room. It's simply done but it's the little things that make all the difference. The cottage features an incredible soaking tub, functional kitchen, and cute hammock setup out back. I will warn you there is a rooster and donkey nearby. Personally we found it hilarious but if you're a light sleeper bring ear plugs :)
Location was great, you're just a few short minutes from downtown Topanga. There were a number of small shops, restaurants, and a grocery store. It's small and quaint, but if you're in the mood for something different Malibu is just a 20min ride away. There are also a ton of hiking trails nearby. I wouldn't leave before at least stopping into Hidden Treasures. I scored a vintage 1970's leather jacket for $50!
My host David was extremely attentive but also gave us absolute privacy. Unfortunately we were there the weekend the Palisades fire broke out. We were a little on edge if we'd be forced to evacuate. He kept us updated and periodically checked in to make sure we were safe and felt comfortable.
I would highly recommend staying at this Airbnb or any of his properties. Thanks again David!
