I am impressed with how much Peter and Sonia have been able to do with a three-car garage. Through liberal use of rugs (ten!), screens, and tapestries, they have managed to create the private, separate, spacious area advertised. However there are three deficits to being in a garage. 1) There is very little sound insulation between the garage and the main house above which means we had the uncomfortable situation of hearing conversations (word for word) from above. 2) There are pipes running through the garage. When they used water, the waste water came rushing down through the pipes in the garage. And 3) the light switches are all placed on the back wall of the house, so turning on the lights to the front bedroom or the kitchen means walking through the back bedroom to the far back wall- just a little inconvienent but understandable given building codes. Despite these deficits, I would stay here again as the location and price are right.
