Helen's studio is super clean, spacious and bright, and so relaxing! It really is steps from the beach and a short walk to Abbot Kinney, but its just as nice to cook a meal in the lovely kitchen or spend some quiet time in the apt listening to music, or taking a candlelit bath. You really could vacation in the studio, its totally uncluttered and every object seems chosen with care, from the super sharp cooking knives to the linens and candles and tiny plants. The bed is extremely comfortable. O and all the treats and amenities! It was perfect.
