Ali's studios are recently refurbished. Very comfortable and a good utilisation of space, turning one large basement flat into 5 studios. The one drawback is that there is no soundproofing, so you can hear everything happening in all the studios. Unfortunately while I stayed there, there were some drunken guests who were very loud until about 2am when I had to rise for work at 7. Although I do understand that this is out of Ali's control, it wasn't really ideal.
