The studio is part of a larger house perched on a hill looking down into a small valley. The view was great. At night you could look down on all the scattered lit-up houses. The patio area is lovely, but we were there during an unusal cool spell so we didn't sit out there. The studio was clean and cozy with a comfortable bed and a good shower. It was also quiet which is definately a good thing when staying in a city. We enjoyed our stay.
