The studio is set behind a house in a quiet residential street not far from the Santa Monica Freeway. Access is easy, and the studio is neat, with a useful kitchen and plenty of lounging space. The bed folds out from wall. Within easy walking distance is an excellent ramen restaurant, a more upscale Japanese restaurant, burger and pizza chain stores and a handy 7 Eleven. A bitfurther away is an excellent supermarket. For those without a car (like us), the Big Blue Bus number 8 has a stop just around the corner and can drop you off in Santa Monica (and its Expo Line train station) one way, and right up to Westwood (UCLA) the other way. Marty is a very responsive host.
