This was perfect for us! I wanted to stay in this neighborhood because I used to live here, it's also convenient to lots of areas if you have a car. It's actually got an awesome vegan donut place (Mighty-O) and great coffee shop (Zoka? Zona?) around the corner, a little grocery shop, 2 restaurants and a bar all within a block or two. So that was perfect. As for the studio, it was great! It was built over the garage (no steps - garage is lower down and built into a hill). It's got a super comfy bed - my partner has a bad back and felt great every day. Nice light, everything you could possibly need. Hosts also provided little extras like shampoo, coffee, tea, chocolates. Full size fridge! (No stove, just microwave). When we needed an iron Lucy came right over with a board and iron.
