Ryan's place was great for a short stay away from LA. Within 10 minutes, you can drive to beautiful mountain paths, or down to a relatively empty beach. It's got the best of all worlds. Ryan was also very helpful in recommending local spots, and he was available if we needed any assistance. The space has all you'll need, even an electric burner and mini fridge. The bed is comfortable, and the wifi works decently. Be warned that the cell reception up there is nonexistent, and the drive up and down the mountain is scary - the road is thin and twisty, and it can be especially daunting driving up in the dark.
