The studio is a gem in every sense of the word. The location was perfect for me as I was visiting my son who lives in Bel Air. The studio is located in a great neighborhood, and also a very short walk to Ventura Blvd, where many great restaurants and shops are located. I especially appreciated the ample parking on the street near the studio. Easy access to 405 and 101, you can hop on the freeway to get anywhere. Aleta is a gracious host who is always available to answer questions and help you navigate the area. Whole Foods is an eight minute walk, and you can fix many simple meals with the microwave and cook top. The studio is air conditioned, which was a life-saver, as there was a heat wave during my stay. If you are looking for a great place to call home base, to explore many of the LA sights and experiences, while staying in a quiet place at night, this is the place to be.
