Olivier was quick to respond and was super easy to work with. There was a glitch in the booking (I think it was Airbnb software) and we were able to sort it out very easily. I had a few changes to the arrival time but Olivier was very flexible about that and made it easy for me to check-in effortlessly.

The studio is really private and having a garage attached was super awesome! I didn't have a chance to use the laundry but if I had to stay extra nights, that would have been great. There's a small fridge and tea kettle and it's sufficient for something simple but not for full-on cooking which was fine since I only stayed one night. If I thought about it, I would have had a few snacks before I got there because I was too tired to leave later.

The novel cafe is practically next door and provides great breakfast and Venice and Santa Monica is chock full of great restaurants and bars.

There was a small hiccup with the outlet in the bathroom but Olivier fixed it right away (he lives upstairs). He was so attentive! At the end of my stay, I got to meet Olivier in person and he is extremely charming and kind. He's a photographer and has great taste. The studio is furnished and decorated very nicely and I felt comfortable there. Very cheerful! The books on the bookshelf are a bonus! I left my dress outside to dry and left it on accident but Olivier texted me right away so I could go back for it. So nice!

The hallway is shared with one other room and I had the serendipity to meet the guest. I might even rent both rooms next time if I had a holiday with friends to have some privacy and proximity. So cool. I would stay there again! It's a fair price for a private efficiency studio.
