We enjoyed our stay in Rick's studio. It is exactly as shown in pictures, and although we didn't get a chance to meet Rick he was easy to communicate with via email. Check in was also a breeze. He provides coffee, cold water, soda, and toiletries such as shampoo which is a nice touch. The studio is a bit far from downtown (which we knew when we booked) but is still walkable of you are accustomed to getting around on foot (It takes about 30 min depending on what part of downtown you want to reach). It is right near Germantown which has some nice restaurants such as Monell's (a must do!). There is also a Kroger's grocery store just around the corner. The neighborhood is quite residential and appears to be going through gentrification which may not appeal to everyone. That being said we felt perfectly safe and would not hesitate to recommend Ricks place to anyone looking to save some money by staying a bit further from the center of town.
