Communication can improve. When I was at the house trying to check in the host was not around and didn't answer messages or phone calls. Luckily his neighbor helped me get in. Stephen apologized for the hassle and refunded me $40 for the inconvenience, which was nice.
The studio is nice, around the back side of the house. There is a back deck and more space than I was expecting. The location is good, near restaurants and bars. The lack of communication while trying to check in was a bit annoying but I would still recommend his place.
