We had a great time staying in Topanga at Ryan's home! Topanga is a great jumping off point for exploring the LA area. For hiking you are a mile from Topanga State Park where there are lots of trails to choose from and for beaches you are a 10 min drive to Topanga State Beach and conveniently located to access all the beaches in Malibu. Super close to Santa Monica too.

The studio is lovely and comfortable. It's a really nice size for 2 people with a comfy bed, TV, kitchenette and a Keurig coffee machine for the morning :) It also has a nice covered porch area you can relax and read or just enjoy the lovely weather. Host leaves some info about the area in the studio which is helpful when finding local places to eat and drink. We met the host when we were arriving from a day trip and he offered good options for dinner and beaches to visit. One of the best AirBNBs we've stayed at.
