Karen’s loft was the perfect setting for working/a relaxing retreat. The location is great, a few blocks from the beach and from multiple hotspot areas like Abbot Kinney and Rose Ave. The space is huge and had nearly everything you would need to cook, work, relax, and have a good rest. So many kitchen tools! So many books! I especially loved the back patio and the big mirror in the bedroom. Karen was super responsive and just lovely to converse with, even after I had accidentally locked myself out of the back patio. I appreciated the personal touches throughout the space as well, it felt like it had some personality without feeling like you were actually living in someone else’s space. I thought the space could’ve been slightly cleaner (hangers were dusty, couch cushions/throws a bit musty) but nothing egregious and certainly nothing that would prevent me staying again. Definitely will be back! Thanks Karen!
