Alfie was an amazing host! The studio was more spacious than the pictures show. The place was very quiet and private and it had an amazing view. The studio is at the top of a very steep driveway so if you are renting a car, get one with some power. The place was clean but the floor areas without hardwood were a little gritty so we had to wear flip flops to keep us from tracking dirt around the other areas. There was minimal cookware, which wasn't a problem for us because we ate out while we were there. Alfie was very friendly and greeted us with a smile. He allowed us to have guests over, who weren't sleeping there, and he even played a game of darts with us. Overall, we enjoyed our experience. If we're in LA again in the future, I would definitely stay at Alfie's studio again.
