The studio / cottage looks like a converted garage, but it isn't makeshift. It's a full bathroom, with good closet space, a kitchenette and mini fridge, and a work station. It's quiet and pretty clean. The studio is right behind the host's main house (he put motion activated lights to make it easy to walk back to the studio) and is in a quiet, neighborhood with easy parking. The host, Chris, is very easy to deal with!
