We chose Lena's place as our first stay during a 6-week- trip in the US - and we could not have felt more being home. The location and the neighborhood is great - quiet, safe and very close to places like Abbot Kinney Blvd. Lena was very responsive and it felt like she was always available for us if we had a question. Unfortunately we have not met in person, but I would not be surprised to end up at her amazing studio another time soon ;-)
