Stephen's cottage is private, cozy, and well-equipped. He is an excellent communicator, too. We stayed for two nights while attending wedding parties in the Malibu area, so our time was more limited than we would have liked, since this is such a wonderful space to relax and sit out on the patios. In regards to our busy schedule and needs, there was an iron and ironing board as well as a spacious closet with hangers -- much needed items when traveling across the country with dressy clothing for fancy parties! We hope to stay here again and would recommend it to anyone hoping to spend a few nights in the heart of Old Topanga.
