This is a real studio, without even a "real" kitchen area (there is a microwave and small fridge in a closet). The room is quite spacious. The sofa opens to the bed, and the host provides a mattress topper that made it reasonably comfortable. The place is sparkling clean, modern, and in good condition. Communication with the host was exceedingly prompt, courteous and attentive. We did have a couple of maintenance issues they addressed quickly. There is a lock box which makes check-in and check-out very easy. For us, the location was PERFECT, and this is an excellent value. Highly recommended.
