I never met Rick, but the email communications were very clear, so I was able to get into the studio (converted one car garage) with no issues. The place was great for 2 people - it was well renovated with everything we needed for a weekend and very clean. The bathroom was more well stocked than some hotels I've been to - hotel sized toiletries, more than enough towels. Hot water was sufficient for two consecutive showers and good water pressure. There were coffee pods, bottled water, and soda in the kitchen - very convenient. Wifi worked well. Seems like Rick put in the effort to make the studio very comfortable. Climate control was perfect - the a/c made a constant humming noise - might be bothersome to some people, but we didn't mind. Location is super convenient - walkable to restaurants in Germantown and a very short uber ride to downtown/broadway, which is where we spent most of our time. Highly recommended for two people.
