This was a terrific experience! Everything about booking, checking in, and corresponding with Hilary was a breeze. The location can not be beat - two blocks from Bluff Park and the beach, with its miles of paved walking and biking path. A quick walk takes you to just about anything you could want/need. I loved Second Street and the Broadway corridor. The neighborhood is cute, safe, and friendly.
The studio is as pictured - small but very functional. There are abundant drawers, shelves, and places to hang clothes - a boon for someone with a carload of stuff to stash. The portable AC was understandably noisy, but it and the ceiling fan kept things very cool and acted as a bit of white noise, not that there was that much outside noise from the building or the one facing it. The on-site laundry room was handy.
Parking didn’t prove an issue for me. There are parking restrictions for two hours each Thursday morning on one side of the streets, and for the same two hours each Friday morning on the other. I tended to leave my car parked for the week and only use it during the restricted parking hours so that I could repark it easily. Regardless, I never had to park farther than three blocks away. Bikes and scooters can be easily rented all over the area.
I would highly recommend this studio and may return!
