Carla's place was just as it appears in her photos: cheerful, comfortable, accommodating for one or two people, and neat as a pin. I liked that it had a small kitchen, even though I didn't use it at all-- I discovered to my delight the Starbucks just a short walk up the street! Easy access to the beach, restaurants, bike path, and all the fun of MDR and Venice Beach. Carla was professional and cordial; I recommend her studio in MDR without hesitation.
