When you enter Róisín ‘s studio there is a microwave atop a mini-fridge. Róisín had a small bottle of milk, some butter and tub of yogurt in the mini-fridge.
As you enter the main area through the curtain there is a nice hostess-trolley looking arrangement with a full 2 Litre bottle of Evian, a kettle, toaster, a container with a knife, fork, spoon, some plates/bowl, tea, some chocolate, coffee - things you might find in a hotel I guess.
To the left is the tv, a table between it and a couch. Some DVDs are stored below next to a DVD-player, and there is Sky.
There is plenty of space for a single traveller. One of the first things I noticed was the essential oil - of which Róisín is a definite fan. I’m not a huge fan but it is not an effort to conceal anything - Róisín keeps the place nice and clean. The decor is tasteful, modern with fresh, inviting colours. The bed is such that it can accommodate a single person but could be adapted if a couple were to stay. The goose-down duvet/dooner was sensuous. There is plenty of space to live from your suitcase or pack stuff away depending on the length of your stay.
The heat was on in the morning and in the evening when I was there-8am then 6-11pm. The skylights(2) provide some light but I did need to turn on the two smaller lights at night. Róisín has some Leap cards a-ready if you’re stuck, as the best way to go into the city is on the 46A bus which takes 50minutes. The bus stop is 3minutes walk up the road and buses run every 15minutes on average. You can hear traffic from the studio, it didn’t bother me.
I am coeliac so within walking distance there is a bakery specifically befitting my needs-it’s Gluttony Bakery or you might find it on Google as “Jane’s Cottage”. They open from 8am -5pm Monday to Friday serving glutenfree cakes, sausage rolls, soup, sandwiches, hot & cold drinks. Róisín was great to respond to any question I asked, and really made no fuss about anything. She invited me to have breakfast at her kitchen the morning after I arrived, which was a pleasant experience.
