We came to the designer's studio for a quick weekend trip and had a great experience. It's the perfect size, in a GREAT location, and has the cutest decor and small details. Parking is also very easy. There is so much to do in this area alone - tons of great restaurants and shopping, and it is only 20 minutes away from Venice, Santa Monica, DTLA, and Pacific Palisades. If you're looking to see a lot of LA this is a great central location. The neighborhood is safe and quiet - we slept peacefully and walked to dinner every night. Kathy was so nice and made us feel very welcome. I 100% recommend staying at Designer's Studio!
