When we arrived there were people standing outside the house, we assumed that they were Emily and Phil. The man said that we were expected and he called someone inside the house. The woman turned out to be Emily's sister and the man's identity is still unknown, but later we've seen him again, when he and Phil came in to clean our room on check out day!
So, Phil came downstairs and opened the door for us, he was very kind and he showed and told us everything about the house. Except where we could find bags for the trash can. Which we did find later on!
The neighborhood in which the house stands is nice! It's quiet at most times, we were so unfortunate to be waken up by a car alarm two mornings and once by a garbage truck, but it's a lovely English street!
The house itself is cosy, it's very light and it has a nice feel to it! It is a bit noisy, but that only depends on how loud your fellow residents are! We had loud neighbors above us, who came in late and stomped on the floor for an hour and an half and than went to bed.
But that didn't take away any of the pleasure of staying in studio 1!
