The Zen Studio was everything I anticipated and more! I had a unique situation with my dates of stay that Robert was happily able to accommodate from the start. Overall, he couldn't have been more communicative and welcoming. He knew I was arriving at night and had thoughtfully turned the indoor and outdoor lights on. I was greeted with a bowl of fresh fruit, granola and almond milk, along with an assortment of nespresso pods and interesting teas. I felt right at home as though someone was expecting my arrival. The studio is adorable, minimalist, extremely clean and has amazing private outdoor space. It's also within walking distance to Main Street and the beach. Having lived on the Westside of LA for many years, this is certainly a prime location. The space also has all the conveniences and comforts of home such as an iron, space heater, electric kettle, washer/dryer, hair dryer, mini kitchenette, beach towels, a comprehensive library of books and an essential oil diffuser. I would highly recommend the Zen Studio to anyone looking for an authentic Santa Monica pied a terre. I will definitely be back!
