The studio looks exactly like the pictures and is quite charming. Karin leaves it well-stocked in case you want to cook a meal. She also provides detailed suggestions on where to go. She even made sure we were set on getting to our next destination in Ireland. Our only complaints were that it turned out to be a little further out than we would have liked (always a gamble when you're booking places in an unfamiliar city), and, for being a rather small person, I found the shower to be extremely small. Also, my tall husband had to be careful of his head in the loft.
