The studio is very stylish and comfortable. I had everything I needed and Mary had even left some extra treats in the kitchen, which was kind. It's very quiet and full of light, so a nice place to hang out if you don't feel like venturing out. But going out is easy too because of the great location. The studio is close to the bus stop for the airport bus and the DART train for the city center (about 30 mins). There's plenty of interest to walk to as well: the beach, a lovely park, the village with its great restaurants and quaint shops. There's even live music in some of the pubs. As a female, solo traveler, I felt very safe walking in the neighborhood after dark. Mary was very helpful in providing tips on where to go. I highly recommend Mary's place and will definitely consider staying again if I am ever in the area.
