Roger's place is well equipped and thought out for a small space - I found it lacking in nothing essential. Roger and his partner were warm and welcoming. The wi-fi worked well, and it was nice to have the option of an ethernet connection. Though it is tucked away, there are the normal sounds you might expect in a residential neighborhood with kids. The studio stayed remarkably cool for a place without air conditioning! There is outdoor space to enjoy as well, with huge towering trees all around. If you are sensitive to sound, when you're outside strange electronic sounds can be heard non stop (motion detectors?) day or night. Just pretend its cicadas!
