Everything was exactly as how described in the listing! The host welcomed with a hand-written note and some other simple, mood boosting welcome gifts. This is the perfect spot for traveling artists or those of the like wanting to experience the city. The neighborhood of the studio was quiet. The hosts were extremely friendly and remained in contact throughout my visit, lending a hand or information. They also anticipated their guest's needs, which even hotels don't accomplish sometimes. I would highly recommend this stay to anyone who enjoys being surrounded by art, books, and culture.
