This is by far the loveliest oasis in the best location one can find in Venice. More importantly, the owners Stanley and Susie, are possibly the loveliest couple we have met in the entire time we’ve lived in Los Angeles.
If you choose wisely by staying here, you’ll be a block away from Abbot Kinney, but with a measure of unexpected serenity for being so close to the action. To put it simply, we didn’t want to leave. Stanley and Susie made sure we had all of the creature comforts of home while staying with them. They are thoughtful, respectful and empathetic to a degree I’ve not encountered here.
The studio we stayed in is immaculate and wonderfully designed. One can feel snd see the Frank Lloyd Wright influence in the architecture and interior design. Modern industrial touches give the studio a feel Miles Davis would say is “coooool”. The outside garden and patio space reflects a level of care in design that one is fortunate to find and spend time in. Careful work went into creating the outdoor space and I found myself marveling at the harmony of juxtaposition they’ve created between to two environments.
We were at peace here during a rather chaotic time. We thank Stanley and Susie for exceptional experience of staying in their studio. They could not have been more gracious hosts.
We look forward to coming back and staying again.
