Great Location
Great location and the owner is a gem to communicate with and thoughtful. She got some items for our 18 month old. The negative thing is that the studio has humidity issue which I believe contributed to some sickness. ( stuffy nose, coughing). When we were out and about there was no issues. We did empty the humidifier everyday.
