Yani was a great host, very friendly, flexible, and accommodating. The studio was exactly as described and pictured and was very comfortable. My only regret is not reaching out to Yani for a tour of the neighborhood sooner! The studio is not in the "hustle and bustle" of North Hollywood (definitely a quiet, residential street) but is just blocks away. HUGE bonus for me, dog park steps away! Separate small and large dog sections and probably the largest small dog park that I've seen. All the neighbors were very friendly as well!
