Studio layout & comfort
The unit is a compact studio with a queen bed, a living area, and a flat-screen TV with cable. Comfort features include window A/C units and heating, plus linens and towels provided.

A washer is available for longer stays, and an ironing board is provided. These practical amenities make the studio workable for self-catered stays despite its compact size.
Parking & connectivity
Free street parking is provided, and guests often report parking is easy. Free Wi-Fi is listed, but at least one reviewer reported extremely slow internet speeds that made working online difficult. If reliable, high-speed connectivity is essential, travelers may want a backup plan (such as a hotspot).
