The studio was even nicer than portrayed in the photos: fresh, clean, bright and a very good size for one or two. We were welcomed with fresh flowers, bagels, butter, coffee, milk, cereal, yogurt, wine and other snacks that made you feel at home. When we arrived the cable was not working; this was quickly corrected the next morning (earliest time the Cable company could come). In the meantime, Marianne brought DVD's to us of the recently nominated movies for us to watch which was an unexpected and delightful touch. All of these thoughtful touches made a wonderful visit with our son even better. Thank you Marianne
