The apartment was just as described. Thanks to some advice from folks at the place and info gathered from the interweb, we hiked up the Red Rock trail (moderate exercise) to the ridge top, then across the ridge top on a sketchy (strenuous, rough, but fun) trail across to Rosa's Overlook and the Fossil ridge trail, then down the Hondo canyon trail for an 11 mile loop hike; a perfect day's outing for us, followed by a walk into 'town' for snacks and drinks at the cafe and groceries at the store. Walking on the Old Topanga Canyon road to get to the trails and back is sketchy due to narrow (often non-existent) road shoulder and people driving too fast.
