Host gets 2 stars for organized stay. Instructions on how to get in were clear, and included a small, but shared, storage space for luggage upon arrival and departure. He was very prompt in responding to questions as others have mentioned.
However, our stay was not very enjoyable as it was plagued with a sewage stench. We found the source underneath the sink: a small plastic dish that was almost full holding foul water caught from the pipe connected to that sink. When we messaged the host about this he did respond and promptly dropped off some supplies: air freshener to cover up the odor and another plastic container that was too large to fit under the pipes. So the task of dumping out this disgusting water was left to me and fortunately I made it to the toilet without spilling any.
Even after this was dumped there were still waves of this nauseating stench throughout our 3 night stay. Breathing in the air freshener wasn't much better.
Aside from the smell, the place could really use more shelving or space to place things. Included is a tall, small table with bar stool type chairs, and small amounts of space around the smelly sink. There are a couple of nightstands as well, but outlets were not in convenient places.
Location was ok, pretty walkable to downtown, though expect to climb a hill on the walk back. Plenty of homeless people around the building and the parking lot which the studio faced.
