coming from London, the place was spacious enough. it has a separate entrance from the main house so good for privacy. the studio had a desk, microwave, fridge, basic crockery and a bathtub!!!
you can walk to Abbot Kinney, Rose, and wholefoods within 5/10 mins. it's about 2km from Santa Monica (for metro) or Venice Beach proper, and only 5 blocks away from Google.
