Cas is a great, thoughtful host. The apt is cozy but not small, has good light and is just really comfortable with a great bed, ample storage, washer and dryer in apt and closet space. The apt comes with basics like detergents and everyday supplies that only require a little extra when things like Kleenex, dish washing soap or paper towels run out. So you are not starting from scratch just to get set up. So it is turn key and you are walking into someone else's home. We stayed for 2 months. Cas is also a frequent and great communicator so anything you need or anything happening in the building is not a surprise. Quiet building. Location in studio city is great-- close to Ventura, gyms, yoga/Pilates/ fitness places, restaurants and stores galore and the Sunday farmers market almost around the corner. This is a super comfortable, livable space with a generous host in a great place.
