I thought this place was great value for its location close to Venice Beach. Parking and checking in was easy, the instructions were very clear (so not sure why the guest next door got so confused and scared the bejesus out of us by trying our door late on the first night and making such a drama of getting in - not Shirin's fault at all!). Other than that the studio was nicely decorated and immaculately clean and the neighbourhood was quiet. We found nice places to eat within walking distance on both nights we stayed, and it made a good base for exploring Venice Beach, Santa Monica and all around Hollywood by car.
