What a fantastic location walking distance from Venice Beach and Rose Avenue! John and Charlotte's perfectly appointed studio is located behind a beautiful wood wall and a code-entry gate, shielding the location from street noise and creating a secure space in lush shaded gardens. The code-entry gate allowed for easy self-check-in, and John and Charlotte's communication about where to park, where to eat, how to get into the property were all spot on, perfect and timely.
John's woodworking business is evident in the lovely touches in this modern studio--shelves made from varnished glossy slabs of lumber added an earthy element to concrete floors and glass doors. Tastefully decorated and functional. If you're scared of clowns and the movie "IT", ask them to remove the art on the wall over the bed. It didn't bother me, but I know some people that are scared of clowns, so that's worth sharing in advance.
A bag of freshly-ground Starbucks House Blend coffee made for an aromatic awakening after a restful night's sleep. I only woke once, due to a M3.6 earthquake that shook the bed and the doors... I thought someone was trying to break in. But their sturdy structure rode out the rumbles and I was soon back to sleep on the comfortable bed.
You'll love your stay at their studio! Give this place a try!
