Laura has created the quintessential "California beach studio" - every detail is thoughtfully considered and curated, and the small space truly has been designed for ultimate functionality. The bed & linens were oh so comfortable and the kitchen was thoughtfully furnished with all you could need. We loved this neighborhood as you are tucked away from the bustle of Santa Monica but still close and easy access to the 10, 405, etc. Great neighborhood restaurants to walk to and side note for design lovers, the Eames Foundation house is only a 10 min walk away! One last thought - take the warnings for stairs seriously, we didn't mind but for real, counted 89 steps to get from the street to your door - be ready for the killer workout!
