"The space is thoughtfully laid out for a studio. The end unit made the room feel spacious. The bathroom was very nice. Overall there was plenty of space for long term stays. The only downside was there was no low-level lighting in the galley kitchen, which meant using the main bright overhead light. The frig could use having the door reversed to open for kitchen access, not living room."
