Mary's little studio was great! The description is super accurate. Mind you, there is no TV so best to bring a laptop or iPad. We mostly stayed to sleep and didn't really spend a lot of time in the studio but it was a great stay. It's attached to the main house, but you definitely feel like you're in a whole completely different home because it's very quiet. Not a peep.
The studio was about 30 minutes away from Universal Studios and 40 minutes away from Santa Monica Pier (this is with traffic). If you leave earlier, the drive will be faster. Only took us about 15 minutes to get to Universal.
The place was quiet, private, & peaceful. We didn't hear a peep during our whole stay. Mary was nice enough to save us a parking space & even leave us with little snacks and cold water.
I must say, this space is super cute! There's a fan that provides cool air so we didn't even have to use the AC.
I would say that the space would definitely be best for couples or even a family with one kid. It was more than enough for us but might not work for a bigger family.
I would definitely recommend Mary's studio! Such a great price and such a comfortable space. Check in and check out was easy! No complications. :) Thank you Mary!
