The cottage is a wonderful place to escape to and unwind in Topanga Canyon!
The cottage itself feels way more spacious inside than whatever the square footage may actually be, and all the open space outside the door gives a sense of openness that is super calming and difficult to really measure. Inside the cottage all the appliances are totally great and the wifi is strong if you need it. The bed is incredibly comfortable as are the pillows and blankets. Combining those super comfy touches with the view from the bed makes for a killer place to read, nap, and just relax. And as described above, the cottage literally has trails leading from your door out into the Santa Monica's. There's nothing between you and the trails whatsoever.
As for other amenities, the coffee inside the cottage was rich and flavorful- totally top-notch. The breakfast that Maggie brought us was more than noteworthy. It was really simple, but so fresh and so delicious. Sitting outside in the morning breeze drinking coffee and indulging on homemade granola and almond milk, muffins, breads, and local eggs was perfect. The bathroom was clean, cute, and well-stocked with really nice soaps/shampoos.
All in all, the cottage was an excellent getaway spot with only good surprises. The host was super kind and courteous, the space was even better than the photos, the amenities totally exceeded expectations and we can't wait to visit again and explore more.
