Takao & Aiko have thought of everything. From a very sweet personal welcome message left on the studio’s desk to all the light switches labelled! The towels in the scrupulously clean bathroom were thick and soft and there was lovely smelling soap, shampoo and conditioner. The living area was stylish and very comfortable with a huge TV with Netflix. The bed was super king and luxurious with incredibly soft bedding. The kitchen was very well equipped with a large fridge freezer, a gas hob, microwave and electric grill, in fact, there was everything provided to create breakfast/lunch and dinner. The outside area had pretty twinkly lights strung about which made the lovely garden feel magical at night. During the day we were able to sit about in the sheltered space and enjoy the warm last sunny rays of summer. The studio itself was very close to several regular buses so getting to the ferry for Manhattan was very easy. We walked to the terminal most mornings which took about half an hour. The area itself is a wonderful mix of cultures and vibes. We would definitely return without a doubt. Thank you xxx
