Isabelle's guest studio was very charming and comfortable. I stayed here for a month to finish a book and slept like a baby in that big bed. It is the perfect writer's cottage. The coffee shops and restaurants of downtown Topanga are just a short walk up the road. The beach and the Reel Inn (one of the best restaurants in LA) are just a few miles down the road. This is a great home base for anyone who wants to explore the Topanga/Malibu side of Los Angeles. Isabelle is really friendly and interesting too. She's a linguist, world traveler and self proclaimed Gypsy. Very cool and so is her place.
