Cy was a very gracious host. He took the time to show us around the studio and make sure that we were comfortable. The studio was incredibly convenient to the beach and activities on the Venice boardwalk. The only downside was that it wasn't so convenient to many restaurants, there were a few located in close proximity but the majority of restaurants were located several blocks down the street, which was still an easy walk. The location was a huge plus for us during our stay. It was perfect for what we needed and we felt very comfortable.
