Amanda was very responsive and helpful during the registration and travel period and during our visit. The studio was clean and well supplied. Very centrally located, we used a compass card to move about the area. Started with a $40/ person, but ended up leaving $10 on each card. It took $14 I think to get from the airport, but only $4 to get back.

I used Google maps to find transit directions and it was awesome.

Basic supplies, cooking paraphernalia, and equipment were all available and we cooked five dinners on site. The fish store is a block away and there are groceries and wine stores within a half mile.

From the city, the downtown is very walkable with the central city some 1.5 to 2 miles across.

We used our pedometer and walked an average of 24,000 steps per day.

We enjoyed deep cove, a $2/ 30 minute bus ride from the studio, as well as an attempt to grind the grouse, another $2 drive away.
