The host kept in touch before and after our move in through texts so as to not interfere with our vacation, and was free for communication if anything had come up (luckily, everything was smooth sailing after our move in). Access to the studio was easy with a coded key-lock. The spot was a bit hard to find in the beginning because there are no numbers at the bottom of the stairs, but we were able to find it in the end. Overall, our stay was very enjoyable. We'd definitely pick this spot if we're ever in LA again.
