The Common Studio is totally darling & looks exactly like the photos on the website (let's face it, sometimes that's not the case!) My contact, Karen, explained any queries speedily & professionally & kindly accommodated a later checkout which was hugely appreciated. Please note, this wouldn't always be the case if guests are due to check-in same day as your departure. Abbot Kinney & Rose are right on your doorstep, I spent most of my time there, and for beach dwellers, it's a 20 min walk or short bike ride. Hope this helps?! Enjoy your trip & stay :)
