I am disappointed to report that I had a bad experience at this studio. At the time of my rental, in February 2016, it was described as “private” and “luxurious.” To my mind, it was neither. Indeed, I did not feel safe. The actual street, while steps from Magazine Street, is sketchy, with a mix of residential and barred/boarded-up commercial properties. The exterior door seemed flimsy and inadequately lockable. The studio is in a small house that, while neat and trim, has walls that are paper thin. I could hear every sound from the street and from the other part of the house, too, to the extent that I could clearly make out every word of every conversation. I felt compelled to whisper when I was on my phone so I wouldn’t disturb the other tenants (who were not the hosts; shortly before my arrival I learned the hosts were leaving for South America). There is a door connecting the studio to the other part of the house. At 2:30 in the morning, I sat up in bed to find myself face to face with one of the other tenants, who was stopped from entering the studio only by the security chain. As you can tell, I did not find this a restful place to stay. It is cute, but it is noisy, has paper-thin walls, and does not feel secure.
