Eric is a fairly responsive host and his instructions were clear, but this studio is MUCH smaller than the pictures make out, especially if you're two people staying there. Eric has taken some very nice widr angle shots of his apartment, but in a way that makes the place look bigger than it is. The ceiling is even lower than expected too. The sound of people living nextdoor (including the use of the public toilet) is very noticeable, as is the smell of them cooking.
