Studio was great: private, quiet, great size, and clean. Hosts were warm and friendly and other guests were respectful. As far as kitchen is concerned, breakfast is provided and you can use the microwave, but there is not a full kitchen to use. As someone who used to live in the area, the location was awesome for me, as I was happy to walk. If you don't have a car, please note that with current bus issues, it may not be a good choice if you do not like walking up hills.
