My girlfriend and I had an amazing stay in Jesse and Abha's studio. It honestly surpassed our expectations. The pictures on the site don't do the studio justice as to how spacious, modern, and homelike it actually feels once you're inside.

The studio is VERY clean, provides an energetic warmth, and is stocked with everything you would need and expect from a good hotel room (e.g., iron and ironing board; refrigerator; microwave; table and chairs; netflix; beautiful bathroom; etc.). The bed is deceptively comfortable - you'd never think as much from the picture. The skylights provide awesome light during the day, and the quiet location couldn't be better. The studio is located in the heart of Venice right off the Lincoln, but you never hear any noise from outside. The bike ride to the beach (thanks for the bikes!) is less than ten minutes, and driving is less than 5.

The only annoying thing is that there's no parking out front - like others have said, you'll have to park on one of the adjoining side streets; however, the good thing is that the neighborhood is very safe and there's an abundance of parking. Walking to your car will never present a security issue in your mind.

All cliches aside, when we're back in Los Angeles, we'll definitely plan to stay here if Jesse and Abha will have us again :) I never met them personally, however, they kept in touch via text if we needed anything, and left detailed messages as to how to find the studio, how to gain entrance to the studio, and other particulars of the like.

If you're on the fence, my advice is to book the trip and stay here. I'm as picky as they come and I can tell you, you won't regret it.
