This studio is superbly located, literally two minutes walk away from the famous Hollywood Broadwalk (as it is called) and the beach, and pretty much in the center of the broadwalk (which extends about 2 miles on either side). There are plenty of restaurants, cafes, of course bars, convenience stores within very easy walking distance. However, the studio itself is very quiet from the beach noises.
The studio was very clean and well-furnished. There is a nice common seating area just outside the studio. The space in the studio is rather tight and not very conducive if you have to spend a fair amount of time inside (for work or due to inclement weather, as we encountered one day). This apartment building has various size other studios/apartments that are much larger than the unit we got. Jeff is readily accessible and super responsive to any needs you may have and accommodative if possible (we got a late check out due to flight schedule).
