Sasha and her husband were initially very welcoming and generous. Their house keeper was also very helpful. Sasha was very understanding when I needed to remove some of the artwork in the space for mental health reasons which I really appreciated.
The only downside of this experience is that we weren't told before arrival that the space didn't in fact have adequate heating even though it was listed in the amenities. Apparently because of covid they hadn't been able to fit it and instead supplied one very ineffective electric heater for the entire space. When I mentioned it to Sasha she provided me with another one of the same poorly performing heater. So for the rest of the trip in at the beggining of winter my partner and I remained huddled under blankets next to these heaters. It was not Ideal. So before booking do check with Sasha that it is adequately heated since.
Another thing to check was I was called in by Sasha for bringing a friend over to work during the day. She said these were the house rules and ones I had accepted by agreeing to stay there but when I looked at the listing and the welcome sheet in the cottage nothing about guests was stated. I made my apologies and obliged for the rest of the trip but I was disappointed as we had paid a fair amount of money and I love to host especially as a travelling artist. I did wonder if it had anything to with the fact my partner and I were young black and brown people and she was more concerned with who we might bring in. This is cpt afterall.
Either way the stay was ok. I'm sure once Sasha reads this she'll made changes accordingly and address the heating situation before letting someone book a glass house in winter.
