Mark is an excellent host; he is very helpful and communicative. The place is in a great location with lots to do in the neighborhood and walking distance to downtown. You're also close to various buses for when you get burnt out during the day and just want a ride home. The studio is steps away from delicious food (Sal Y Lemon) and coffee (Matchstick). The Lion's Den is also just across the street and perfect for cheap breakfast or delicious jerk chicken for lunch- the owners are also super friendly, adorable, and worth supporting.
Tip: If you're looking to save a little money and require coffee when you wake up, I recommend bringing grounds and filters in order to use the coffee maker in the studio.
