It was exactly as described. Esther is incredibly accommodating and welcoming. I was welcomed with fresh fruits, tea, coffee, a few toiletries. The place is hidden in the hills, quiet and well equipped. Fitting for a single person or a couple. The option to be outside was a great bonus, one of my favorite daily routines was to sit outside and listen to Nature. It is centrally located, with only a 5 minute drive to the Comedy Store, Trader Joes and a movie theatre. I highly recommend Esther's studio to anyone who wants to experience Laurel Canyon living. Thanks again, Esther!
