We had a great stay at Kristin and Richard's place. Richard made us feel welcome and at home right away in the studio. The studio has a clever layout that allows desk, bathroom, living corner, and kitchen to coexist without the place feeling cramped at all. The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped with everything you would expect in a normal kitchen with also additional pots, a toaster/mini-oven, a Keurig coffee maker, plus several other appliances and utensils (blender, microwave, eggbeater, etc.). There was a selection of essential ingredients and spices provided (salt, pepper, extra virgin olive oil, etc.). The couch transforms into a bed and back easily. The bed might not be as comfortable as a normal fixed bed (it is not perfectly level when opened), but this didn't bother me after the first night, the mattress is still very good and it is a meager price to pay for having the bed transform also into a couch. The TV has Netflix. The studio is also a great place if you're traveling with a small child. Kristin and Richard provided a pack & play crib for our 6-month-old daughter at no charge, which served not only as a bed at night and for nap times but also as a safe spot to let her play during the day. The studio is well isolated from the rest of the property which ensures a good feeling of privacy. The shared outdoors space is very enjoyable and calming with trees and other plants, and features a large table which we used as a dining table. Being in southern California (and being a bit lucky too), the weather was beautiful and we were often outdoors even though it was January. Washer & dryer are available and we made good use of them. Parking is on the street only, though we didn't have any issues finding parking space close to the studio. A day permit is provided. Night permits have to be purchased at the police department two blocks away from a 24/7 cash-only exact-change machine (if you walk there, remember to take note of your car's license plate number). The machine dispenses permits for 2$/night for up to three nights. The parking rules are indicated in the listing and Richard reminded me of the parking policy again before arriving, so you won't have any surprises. All in all, we had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend staying at Kristin and Richard's studio.
