Mario's studio is overall a cute little space, perfect for a couple. The interior actually looks much better in person, as described by the host there's not really a kitchen but it was fine for us since we only stayed 4 days and love eating out. The check in is seamless and Mario responds quickly to any question you may have. The only thing you have to consider is that the neighborhood, Venice Beach, can get a little sketchy at night and being on the boardwalk you'll hear everyone passing by. But besides that we loved our stay.
