Robert's place is just as described/pictured and he was very accommodating of my request to check-in early. He communicated promptly and effectively throughout the process and checked in after my first night to find out if there was anything he could do to make my stay more comfortable. I will definitely stay at his studio again!
As noted in other reviews, the spiral staircase leading down to the studio is quite narrow and steep (this was not a problem for me at all).
