Ayesha is super friendly and welcoming. From the start she was very nice and made a lot of efforts for us to feel comfortable at her studio. We were traveling for the first time with our 8 months old daughter so we were a bit lost. Ayesha borrowed us a pack-n-play for her to sleep (the one from the pics) and even borrowed a high chair, so we were good with baby gear.

The location of the studio is great. Near all major surf spots, which hubby loved. Also a quick walk from Ted's Bakery, which became our favorite for breakfast.

I agree with some of the other reviewers about the neighborhood being noisy, it is. Several dogs bark a lot and there are cars and other random noises. You get used after a few nights but it bugs a bit. The studio gets a bit hot during the afternoon, so take your time to get back home to sleep. Even with two fans Ayesha has on the studio things get pretty warm.

About the washer/dryer, it is usually loaded but just tell Ayesha you would like to wash some stuff and she will promptly clear her stuff.
