We stayed in the studio for 12 nights from the UK. I had some worries that whilst the studio looked pretty in the photos that it would be too small for us for such a long time, that the bed might be too small or the space too hot etc etc - I couldn't have been more wrong. As we turned up late at night all the fairy lights were on lighting up the building and garden to welcome us and the fan was on to keep the space cool - We stepped in to a beautiful magical space at that time of night after 16hrs or travelling. It was bigger than I had expected having read the reviews that said it was small and it had everything you could possibly need for a holiday. The bed was comfortable, the shower was great, the kitchen had everything you need to self cater if that's what you want - there were also some lovely touches like plants in each room area, a Bose speaker for your ipod, hairdryer etc etc. Within 12 hrs we felt completely at home. The studio and courtyard felt private and secluded and we lived half inside and half outside under the umbrella eating our meals or drinking coffee, using the bikes to get around. We met Ryder and Michelle briefly and they seemed very nice. They live next door but gave us plenty of space and seemed very respectful of our privacy. Personally I was delighted their very laid back cat came and hung out in the garden with us. We quickly fell in love with this space and even when we took a couple of days out to visit LA we were in a hurry to get back to our little home from home. We were genuinely quite sad to leave it.
