The third floor large studio was perfectly quiet, attractive, and comfortable for our 5-night stay. We even tried a few ballroom dancing steps - haha - since we were staying in a former ballroom! It is always a plus to have a spacious bathroom with a window and fast hot water. Each day we had coffee, tea, and Hershey's kisses from the table outside our door. We also were happy to have access to a laundry. We tried some of the suggested places in Richard's guidebook and were quite pleased: Ken's Artisan Bakery, Carina Lounge, Caffe Mingo, Kell's, and of course Voodoo Donuts. There was a strong odor in the room, which was probably due to some recent painting in the hallway and will probably dissipate soon.
