Studios come with a queen bed and a sleeper sofa. There is a regulation bathroom. The kitchenette is a mini fridge and a microwave. There is also a toaster. There are some plastic dinnerware in the cupboards.
If he is getting one on cash through CRO, they will have housekeeping everyday. If it's on points, then there is a Trash and Towel Day (where the trash is emptied and fresh towels are brought) on the 4th day and a full cleaning on the 8th day.
You can pay for daily housekeeping if you want when you are staying on points. I think it's like $25 per day or something.
There is no standard view. You can view either the pool (Dunes Cove), woods/wetlands, Epcot, or BC courtyard. None of these are room categories, but can be requests. It's luck of the draw for what you get.
