The parking situation can be tough. Be prepared to walk up steep hills or a lot of stairs in order to get from your car to the studio. Also, keep in mind that you're only getting 1 room in this house. Though it has a separate entrance, you can still hear noises created by whomever lives upstairs. The room is about the size of an average 1 bed hotel room. There is no washer/dryer unit. Marian is a friendly host, I appreciated how she sent me a message mid-trip to check in.
