The studio is indeed magical, many features in it are hand carved, and Simon is a perfect host. The enclave is charming and historical with beautiful gardens just outside the door and very friendly neighbors. Simon also included lots of thoughtful touches & extras and has re-done the place beautifully so it is a true bed and breakfast rather than just someone's place they have hurriedly cleaned. Location-wise it is perfect in the center of west hollywood and close to everything.
