Nima's studio is located in a nice and quiet LA neighborhood, close to Santa Monica Blvd. and a large shopping mall. Transportation-wise, it is somewhat remote and one may want to have a car. Nima kindly provides a visitor's parking permit. Semi-basement-type studio is nice and fairly spacious, with a serviceable full kitchen, although frugally equipped. Communications, check-in and check-out were smooth and problem-free, and Nima was very kind trying to accommodate my late arrival. A minor inconvenience for wintertime visitors is that one is not in control of temperature and air flow in the studio, which are regulated by computer and may need optimization. Overall, Nima's studio is a great place to stay while visiting the area, and Nima is a nice host.
