This is the second time I stayed in Doug's studio, and it is definitely now by "home" in LA. The studio is so convenient, perfectly located between The Grove and Melrose Ave, and with equal distance to Santa Monica or Downtown. The studio is clean and comfortable and has everything you need. the bed is super comfortable, the kitchen is well equipped. I love the two balconies: one is perfect for breakfast, the other one for a glass of wine in the evening sun.
Doug is very friendly and makes the stay easy and relaxed. Communication is fast and simple.
I can't imagine staying anywhere else in LA.
