The place is older but thoughtful and clean. The alarm for smoke works better than my nose but turned off with a bit of fanning. They were more than helpful like changing bills to coins for the bus. I did not find pans though (I had brought one anyways) despite the useful stove. They even provide pop and snacks! I recommend this studio though it's tricky to get around without a car, evermore during later in the night. It's a less fancy neighborhood. Overall, I would recommend Jim and Lupe's studio.
