Ricks place is beautiful and located on a safe street in a nice neighborhood. He put a lot of thought into the studio and did a great job. He lives upstairs in case you need anything. The included bottles of water were a lifesaver! He even has a few sheets of paper with house rules and local eats. So thoughtful! The washing machines were also a must for me. Tons of storage. Fyi its more of a kitchenette with hot plate but no pots pans, cooking utensils, or hot kettle. Nice fridge. Worthwhile rate. Definitely recommend.
