I was very pleased with the entire experience at Kirsten's studio. She has everything set up nicely and clearly has given it a lot of thought and put in the effort. As for the studio it very comfortable in a quite area behind the house. The neighborhood is really nice and is easy walking distance (three blocks) to Mission Street in South Pasadena where there are shops, restaurants, bars and a really nice wine shop. Finally, Kristen and her husband Richard are really nice, friendly folks. I highly recommend this studio.
