I enjoyed the location of the studio. It's on the third floor, in a pedestrian only area, near a park, within walking distance of the metro, and near restaurants and bars. It was clean with all the basics: a kitchen with hot plate, coffee maker, electric tea kettle, plates, cups, and a sink. The space was warm and so was the water. There's a small futon sofa, table for two, and a bed (of course). The bathroom had new fixtures, though the shower is a bit small - standing only (don't drop the soap). I had some special moments: making coffee in the morning and sitting in the window to watch a movie while I sipped hot chocolate from the nearby restaurant. For all of these comforts, there was one big drawback. I couldn't sleep at night because the people next door were having a party. I could hear everything.
