We had a great experience staying at Barb's private studio. The place was well equipped, nicely decorated and in a wonderful location. It's about halfway in between the Venice Canals and the beach - you could pretty much park your car and be within walking distance of so many great areas. Barb was a great host, she gave us tons of privacy but was very quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had. We would be happy to come back and stay here again!
