I was picked up at the water taxi by Pike (I actually had only emailed Hilary a few hours before telling her when I was going to arrive!), and immediately felt welcomed. He showed me around the island and pointed out all the good places to go. The studio itself was perfect: the fridge and filtered water jug were incredibly helpful (I hate buying so many bottles of water!) and the bed was the most comfortable one I slept on my whole trip, I slept like a rock most nights. I was glad it was in the quiet part of town, the bike made it easy to get wherever I wanted to go, and I felt very safe no matter what time of the day or night it was. I didn't spend much time at home, most days I was out and about from breakfast to well after dinner, but I would come back in a heartbeat!
