Phil's studio is very new and clean. It is definitely as nice as the pictures, and had everything I needed; friendly hosts as well. It is attached to his home but has its own entrance and is very private. The view is amazing and it is a pretty close walk to downtown. The only negative comment I have is that the internet/ cable connection was choppy for about a week or so during my 5 week stay. I would definitely choose to stay here again next time though!
