The studio is located in a quiet lovely area close to all transportation. The check in went smoothly, the communication was good. The listing does not tell you this is a basement studio. There is no air conditioning so you will open the window, however this means you will hear the talking of others outside, or noises of the area- there is minimal. The studio is small but meets your needs well. Lots of snacks and conveniences are provided by the host. He was also very kind to let us check out and store our luggage a few hours while we finished sightseeing- that was great! The bathroom and room were very clean and well lit. It is a safe area with many places to eat within a five minute walk. Overall a nice stay
