Yasmin was a great host, very kind and helpful if needed. It is true that, as she says, while staying with her you get the impression she is not actually there. Me and three of my friends very much enjoyed our stay. The studio is clean and cosy and it has everythin you need whether your staying for one night only or for several days as we did. The area was perfect for us, close to the beach and Santa Monica. All in all I am very pleased with my experience.
