Barbara's private studio was lovely, and Barbara was a great host. Her description and photos were perfectly accurate-- especially the part about the location being so close to the beach!! Barbara was very responsive, and was present to the degree that I asked her to be (which was relatively little). We had a relaxing stay and will definitely look up Barbara's listing if we are in LA again.

Ps-- others have mentioned the plane noise. It woke me up very briefly one night, and the noise ended quickly. I am a somewhat light sleeper, but I never needed the ear plugs that Barbara provided.
