What a lucky find! I came to LA for a very busy work schedule, and coming home to the quiet and beautifully decorated studio was a perfect way to relax. I loved the spacious kitchen and breakfast nook, whether for working or having some wine and a snack. Kirk and his wife were lovely hosts, and very accommodating when I mistakenly arrived well before the usual check-in time. It was my first time in Venice, and they gave me a nice overview of the area, and encouraged me to use the beach cruiser bikes to explore the area (and I also encourage the reader to go ride to the beach!). The location is within walking distance of some interesting boutiques and restaurants on Abbot Kinney — I recommend both the French Market Cafe and Gjelina.

I’m looking forward to returning for a non-working, weekend getaway.
