The studio is very clean, nicely located in town, has a very nice kitchen and is of an appropriate size for one or two people. There are some short comings that really need to be addressed by the owners and hence the 3-star overall rating. First, and most importantly, the stairs (15 steps) coming up into the apartment end a few feet from the entry to the sleeping area. As pointed out by previous reviewers, this is a hazard that needs to be addressed. One suggested a gate at the top of the stairs. A fall risk could be readily reduced by simply installing a door at the top of the stairs! Secondly, the furniture in the studio is very uncomfortable. The "couch" in the living area is uncomfortable as is the bed in the sleeping area. The bed is a 3-4 inch thick piece of foam rubber on top of a box springs. Thirdly, while a TV is provided to watch Netflix, it doesn't seem to provide access to national channels which would be nice to watch the news. The rental needs some work.
