Anne and John were thoughtful in lighting up our apartment, turning on the heat and leaving the key conveniently placed so we would have easy access when our late arrival meant they could not greet us personally. The place was a delightful surprise: the oriental carpets, the beautiful wood floor, the spaciousness of the studio. This is clearly a space designed by two artists for comfort and beauty. They left us generous fixings for breakfast which brightened up a couple meals. More importantly, in chatting with us, they reassured us that we need not drive on unsealed roads and violate the terms of our rental car contract in order to see the Tarkine wilderness, presenting us with a brochure mapping sealed roads that allowed us to see that region by car and foot. We are glad to have met them and found this place of solace.
