There are many ways in which Mika and her studio contributed to a really great stay. She was attentive, emailing me ahead of my arrival to schedule a meeting, and also flexible, willing to wait for me till 11.00 pm as my flight arrived late. She also gave an informative introduction to the neighborhood. The studio is large and very comfortable, but the real stars are the neighborhood and the building. The area has already undergone gentrification, but it retains a wonderful diversity of people and styles. The building is a real luxurious apartment building, with friendly doormen. Mika was again helpful during the stay, touching base with me, and was flexible again in the time of departure. All in all, a terrific stay, and I would repeat at Mika's studio anytime.
