This place is, no joke, awesome. The location is superb and Ryan has the apartment and outdoor space setup perfectly. I sat on the outside patio every night before heading off to bed and it was soporific, rejuvenating, an almost spiritual experience (even for an atheist like me). It’s a pretty far way up in the mountains outside of L.A., so might be best to arrive in the day the first time you’re up there. For some reason everyone in Topanga tailgates horribly, even if you’re driving well above the speed limit. I like to go slower when they do that—maybe slam on the brakes a few times—to teach them a lesson in etiquette. This is not in any way a criticism of Ryan’s place, which is, as I’ve stated, da bomb.
