Many words come to mind about Bea and Henning's studio: paradise, tropicalia, inspiration... It is ideally located in Venice Beach and makes for a fabulous arrival (we entered it late at night, after coasting down on Pacific Highway) or homecoming (we felt secure in what became our home for 10 days). Cooking is possible, as well as washing clothes, hanging out in a hammock, having late breakfast (or late drinks) in the garden, watching friendly squirrels pass by - and biking to the beach (small rental bike fee). An organic grocery market is nearby, as well as Rose St, where many cool & tasty eateries will keep you fed & entertained. We missed not actually seeing Bea and Henning, who were on holiday and with whom correspondence was swift and caring - and we'll say it here as we did in their guestbook: we loved every instant at their contemporary studio and can't wait to come back!
