We had a very good time staying at Yasmin's studio. It is the same as it looks like in the photos. The blooming garden is wonderful. The Venice beach is just a foot-walk away and it took us approximately 20 min by car to get to Hollywood and Beverly Hills,LA. If we had any questions Yasmin was very helpful and friendly. For the rest she left us by our own and it felt like a private little home. We highly recommend this place even for families - we traveled with our five year old daughter.
