The room was very clean! Unfortunately, there were some major problems.
1. The check in process was difficult at best. All I was told was that the door had a digital code lock and I was given the code. When I got to the the house, there was no door, just a gate with a key lock. Having no idea what to do since I didn't have a key and couldn't find a door with a digital lock, I texted Courtney several times and got no reply. I called her and she didn't pick up. So, after an hour of sitting in my car waiting for her to respond, I contacted support who also couldn't get ahold of her. That was frustrating.
2. The next morning she informed me that she was going to have a party for her son in the courtyard in front of the little studio. She said, "I don't know what your plans are, but it's going to be loud." She proceeded to blast music from a speaker for hours and hours. It was so loud that I had to go stay with a friend. It's kind of unbelievable that a host would do that! If she was planning on throwing a party, she could have told me long before I arrived.
3. This studio is part of a family compound in the suburbs (planned community suburbs), a full half-hour, not fifteen minutes, from center city. If you plan on staying here, map it out before you commit. I didn't do that and regretted it.
If the hosts included detailed entry instructions for their guests, answered their texts and calls more reliably, and didn't blast music, the place would be fine! Maybe I just caught the hosts on a particularly bad weekend? Seems like no one else had these problems!
