I and my wife stayed at the studio for 5 nights. The host was very communicative and informative by way of providing a detailed manual for the studio and providing multiple ways to communicate with her. The studio was exactly like it was advertised. It was very clean and had no bad smell. Private garage was useful as we didn't have to worry about parking our rental car. The location is convenient and seems secure enough. The neighborhood is quite. We noticed kid(s) running upstairs in the morning, but it wasn't a big problem since we spent most of our time outside. We loved the fact that we could cook and everything needed was readily available in the kitchen. Visitors to LA who prefer private home over hotel will enjoy this studio!
