Cy is awesome. He's super nice, responsive and the studio is great. We were really impressed with the bed and bathroom in particular (he has made lots of upgrades to the fixtures that give it a lux feel). If you love Venice, the location couldn't be any better, with James Beach just across the street, LA Louver next door (for serious art lovers) and the boardwalk and beach just steps away. And the included parking space should not be underestimated! Venice can get rowdy on the weekend, but the studio stays really quiet - no trouble sleeping whatsoever. We would definitely (and look forward to…) staying here again.
