Staying at Cushla's place was really a highlight of my trip. There are so many wonderful things about this studio that it's hard to know where to begin. The view is beautiful—a great space for morning coffee or meditation. The space itself has a small private area to write or organize that I'd never expect from a studio. There were so many great surprises like that. Great coffee, organic milk, delicious fruit, and a ride when I needed to get a few things.
On the practical end, there's great water pressure, and it's easy to make the studio is as warm as you want.
If your stay is at the end of the month, I'd highly recommend The Lab at BATS Theatre where artists workshop plays, songs, and videos. I went there without high expectations, and came out inspired. And I would have blown it off, because it was rainy and a little windy that night—Cushla offered me a ride.
Beautiful person. Beautiful space. I'd definitely stay there again if I have the chance.
