The location is great - right across the street from a polo park and close to a redwoods park, as well as a good coffee place (California Coffee) and an awesome BBQ restaurant (Aptos St BBQ). The studio is small and has some quirks like a macerating toilet (which can make loud noises) and sort of a kitchenette. It doesn't have a stovetop or oven, but does have a full size refrigerator and a microwave. We cooked a couple times on the high-tech hot plate, which works really well. No TV. Steve is hospitable, friendly, and added some nice touches like flowers for our anniversary, wine and some fresh eggs, tomatoes, etc. so we could make breakfast.
