Great location, 1.5 blocks from the beach. We woke up and walked our dog on the beach every morning! It’s also In the nicer area of Venice beach, and about 10 minute walk from muscle beach. There are quite a few transient people in the area though if that’s a concern for you. We didn’t encounter any problems though other than someone sleeping in the car port one morning. The studio was cute, and the bed was nice. The walls are paper thin though, you could hear everyone else’s foot steps in the building and the street noise. So I’d highly recommend bringing a white noise machine with you if that’s something that bothers you. We almost always travel with one just in case, so this wasn’t a problem for us. The studio was overall pretty clean, but could have been a little cleaner, just a couple small things, a big stain on the white comforter, some random splatter on the bathroom walls that looked like hair dye. We had brought our own beach towels which was good since the towels provided were almost falling apart. Overall though I would book and stay at this studio again! Also the communication was great!
