This a wonderful AirBnB. We stayed for two nights and enjoyed a little escape in Topanga. While you do have to walk past the host's house and other AirBnB to get to the cottage, it feels super private once you are back there. The cottage is a spacious studio with a great kitchen space and bed. While you may be there to connect with the outdoors, we appreciated having a tv and internet with which to wind down. The space was very clean though it has an indoor/outdoor feel and the bathroom is essentially outside so you do feel the temperature changes in there. However I loved this! The roof of the bathroom really warms up in the sun which made the towels warm and they felt amazing coming out of the shower. As others have noted, the outdoor tub is a really fun experience. We used it at night and it was truly magical under the stars. This place is an excellent little getaway from the city and I highly recommend!
