Finding the door

Turn left at the chairs

Come in the main Sola entrance and walk past the front desk — there’s no one to check in with. At the two black chairs under the Sola sign, turn left. Studio 27 is on that corridor: Chelsea is through the glass doors on the left, and Katie’s studio is the dark Formosa door on the right.
