I stayed for 9 weeks for an internship at Beatrice Valentines studio.
The studio as such is nice, it is close to the metro, the neighbourhood is friendly and safe. However, I am quite disappointed about my experience with the host.
The first thing was that I wrote her before booking the room if she could sign me a confirmation about her renting this place to me, which i needed for my university. She asured to me, that this would be no problem at all. After I had booked the studio it took two weeks for her to sign that confirmation and many messages from my side until she finally did it.
At the arrival she was friendly and it seemed that this was the only problem and that from now on, it would all be fine. Throughout the stay we did not have contact and everything was ok.
Sadly, one week after I had left, she wanted money from me, because I had used more towels and sheets than i was supposed to do-which I had not- and that I had left the studio in a mess-which I had not as well. I still do not know, why she came up with that and I would recommend that if you stay there, you insist on giving the keys back to her personally and talk about whether all is ok in the studio. I only left and shut the door behind me, because she was "too busy" to come around that day.
If you do not mind having communication troubles before and after the stay, I guess it is ok to go there. However, I would not want to stay there again.
