LOVED the Common Studio. I live in Venice and stayed for ten days between homes. As a local I can say that the location, style, amenities, etc all made me feel like I was home. There was a snafu with the lock and while we waited for the locksmith (all working perfectly now), the owner invited me in for a turmeric latte and a wellness retreat that she happened to be hosting. The studio is laid out in a way that makes it feel cozy and spacious at the same time. And with the ability to open the doors to the private front yard, you get heavenly indoor/outdoor living AND privacy. The neighborhood is super quiet and charming, centrally located, walkable to Whole Foods and close to the beach. I would stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone considering.
