Being able to independently check in, and come and go without bothering people, worked really well for me as I was in Auckland for a festival. The studio was a peaceful place to stay on a busy weekend and close to TAPAC (performing arts centre) and Mt Albert venues I needed to get to.
One thing to note if you are planning to eat at the studio is that dish washing is done in a plastic tub as there isn't a sink in the kitchenette - though there is a little one in the bathroom.
