Ryan's place is cool, beyond the really nice cross breeze in the unit (I'm so sorry for that horrible pun).
First things first: the bed is super comfortable. Like, "Don't want to get out of bed because you're so comfortable" comfortable.
Ryan has done a really nice job of taking a space that he honestly could have just slapped together, and instead making it feel more like a home than a place to crash at the end of the day.
As far as location, if you're looking for a quiet stay, this is your place. You're about a 10-15 minute drive to the PCH (depending on how adventurous you feel driving in the hills) and a short 5 minute drive to the heart of Topanga, where you'll find independently owned shops and restaurants.
All in all, I'd definitely recommend staying at Ryan's place if Topanga suits your traveling needs, as it did mine.
