I keep seeing that, that makes me sad, I love my balcony time, I even thought about bringing a cushioned pad, yes im extra and this is why I always need to purchase extra luggage
I vote Studio because you won’t miss the 1BR at the start of your trip. It’s ok starting off a little cramped and then spreading out later on in the month.
I am normally not a glorified hotel room person---big fan of the Villas. But I think it is worth staying in a studio so that you can compare the experiences for yourself.
(I am doing my Spring Break trip next year in a studio, just to see what it is like. I have been tempted....very very tempted...to move to a 1BR, but so far have stayed strong.)
