This studio was across the street from the archive where I was doing some research, which was very convenient. Check-in and check-out were very smooth. The bed was super comfortable with clean cotton linens. Heat comes on at a specified hour (5:30), so I wouldn't plan on spending much time at the studio during the day during colder months. But when it did come on it was nice and cosy, and you can adjust the level. The bathroom light (like the lights in public areas of the building) is motion-activated, which didn't bother me. Laundry machines are in the basement and work well; you need to supply your own detergent. There is also a good-size fold-out drying rack and ironing board in the closet of the studio. There are basic pots, pans, dishes, etc.--some of these needed to be cleaned before use, but the studio was otherwise very clean and good value for the location.
