The beautiful photos of the studio are accurate to what it looks like in real-life. Very easy walking distance to Harvard Square, and as I was there to do coursework, it was so convenient to go to class, and return to a nice comfortable quiet place to study. The one small surprise to me was the smallness of the kitchen area, but once you get used to it, it totally works! I was able to do a lot of cooking while I was there (you just can't cook tons of food at once, but meals for one or two are completely doable). Very friendly and attentive and not at all hovering. Great experience!
