I had a fantastic month long stay with Valerie, so much that I am staying with her again in a few days. The studio is fantastic. Very spacious, airy, private bathroom, and private deck / entrance. Valerie is a wonderful host and I have very much enjoyed spending time with her and sharing some great discussions. Valerie's home is great too. Large so sometimes you don't even cross paths with Valerie or other guests which may be staying in the other room. She has a lovely cat and the house is a great neighbourhood (lots of parking!). Super safe and quiet but super close to all the fun that Abbott Kinney/ Venice and the beach have to offer. Great place to stay.
