The studio is a guest space on the home complex, but we never saw anyone else. It is an architecturally beautiful space, as is shown in the pictures. We did not have a car, so the location being centrally located in Santa Monica and LA in general (near the freeway) makes it easy to Uber around to and from. The 2 blocks walk to retail space has lots of delicious restaurants (we tried most of them!), but it is a long walk to the beach (but also an easy Uber back).
