We had a great stay at Susan and Ken's place.

The cottage is a fantastic place for two people and the photos on Air BnB don't do it justice. The indoor space is relaxing, with a spacious living room and kitchen, and your backyard is Topanga Canyon itself.

We were looking to disconnect and decompress and this spot was the taste of the West Coast that we were looking for. With easy access to the West Side of LA and the Valley and, even better, the amazing beaches in Malibu, we were sad to leave.

Ken and Susan made wonderful hosts. The place was spotless when we arrived, they gave us plenty of space and privacy to unwind in the canyon on our own, but we also feel like we've met friends we hope to visit again.

Our one regret is that we only booked for three days!
