What a great experience staying with Ellen and Ed and their sweet dog Huck (who will be your friend as soon as you arrive.) We felt very comfortable the entire stay and never felt like we were intruding. The studio is wonderfully comfortable with places to work, relax, cook, sleep whatever we needed. Make sure to take advantage of the outside area and sit by the fire pit at night. The pool was too cold to use when we were there but it was nice to work and relax by it. Only regret is we didn't utilize the grill. It was super easy to get anywhere we needed in LA and there is a ton of stuff near the house whenever need anything. We will definitely stay with them again.
