About this house rental
This property is a real taste of the old city with a musical twist. This is the original site of the legendary FishTank Recordings previously owned by the multi-award-winning songwriter, musician, and music producer Lucio Rubino. The studio retains its original layout with floating floor systems studio glass, and walls specifically shaped for sound isolation. The decor includes original art, playable instruments and framed articles of Rubino. If you're into unique stays with a little artistic flare this is the place for you. It's a short walk to the coolest places in town and the trolley tour stop is just across the street. The large backyard is fenced in and has outdoor covered seating, a fire pit, and soaking pool to cool off on hot days.
Need a little extra time? You can check in early at 2 PM or check out late at noon for $45, depending on the bookings around yours. It's one or the other, since our cleaning schedule can't stretch on both ends. Just message us to ask.
SMOKE-FREE INSIDE. The Studio is smoke-free inside, cigarettes, cannabis and vaping included, to protect the original art and instruments. Smoking is welcome outdoors, and ashtrays are provided. If signs of smoking are found inside, a $300 smoke-remediation cleaning fee applies, and any damage is billed separately.
Events aren't allowed without approval, but we'd love to hear what you're planning, so message us to ask.

We loved our stay. Very unique place. Upon booking we did not know this was a duplex attached to the back of the owner's house. We soon found out when we got our check in instructions. I was a bit nervous since we had our toddlers and pet. Everything worked out just fine. The owners assured us they could not hear us. The decor and uniqueness was very fun. The jukebox was a hit. The cocktail pool was nice. The area was good. Very close to downtown, we did not walk though. Backyard was great letting our pets go potty, we just had to watch as part of the fence was knocked down. It still did not affect our privacy. The only thing that was a very mild issue was the plumbing in the shower. We often had to turn it off in the middle of the shower so the water could go down. Old pipes, old home problems. It's not backed up, just needs a minute. This was also our first time dealing with VRBO's rule of paying per person vs you pay for the house and the time you're there. We booked and already paid for the house, 2 people at the time. Our two toddlers ended up having to come and we had to pay additional fees through VRBO even though we were under capacity for the home and did not book through VRBO. The owners were very understanding of this plan change though. This was a VRBO rule for this property. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and it served its' purpose of being, "home away from home". Owner is very helpful and very good at communicating with you. Enjoy your stay!

Super fun rental! If you are looking for not your average rental this is it! The history of the property is cool! We met the host and he was very nice and had lots of recommendations for the area. Very close to everything on foot.

This studio was just right in every sense, especially how clean it was. The indoor space allowed privacy and having parking onsite for up to 3 was surprising. The convenience of walking can not be overstated - literally within 15 min. of nearly everything we did. Greg is a top notch host - gracious and welcoming.
