Phillipe provided detailed directions, and met me at the nearest metro station. He even carried my suitcase, which wasn't at all expected, but was in keeping with how accommodating he turned out to be. When I found out he was a fellow bass player, I knew I was in the right place. Cozy and quiet, this studio was perfect for my solo journey but would also suit a couple looking to save money but be in a great hood. That said, it was smaller than expected, so if you are a couple, know that it is a small one-room studio and small bathroom.
