Staying at Heide's Oasis could not have been simpler or more comfortable.

The place is absolutely lovely. It is relatively small but everything is to scale so nothing is missing. The light is wonderful, it is bright all day even when the weather is gloomy. I had a bit of a flue at one point during my stay so I was in bed all day and it was so nice I didn't mind at all. Plus, the bed is insanely comfortable!

There is a primary school next door so you can hear kids playing in the yard and when it rains you can hear it in the bedroom- i think maybe the roof is right above. Also Heide has spices and lavender bowls around, the place smelled really good!

It was a pleasure to come home at the end of long days: it looks, smells and sounds enchanting!

The closest subway line is the #4 which I believe is one of the most convenient lines of the entire system. It goes straight to the center and hits all the major connection hubs. You are no more than 20 mns away from any other point in this very large city. The supermarket is a 2 minute walk and there are two small grocery stores that are open late for emergencies.

I didn't meet Heide. We had a phone conversation and a few email exchanges to cover all the practical details, it all went very smoothly. She replied promptly to my emails during my stay and I hope that someday I will have the pleasure to have a coffee with her.
