I stayed here for four months and had an overall good stay. There's not much kitchen counter space and I was provided one portable induction stove to cook, which was fine for simple meals. The space does need some upgrading because their furniture is secondhand and has become worn over the years, but I addressed this with them and I believe they will resolve those issues considering how responsive they are. They are very quick at responding and addressing issues. I was more forgiving with inconveniences during my stay because I wanted to minimize interactions as a general Covid precaution but Ellen and Ken were always ready to address things when asked. The studio is directly connected to their house and I could hear and smell everything from there and there were moments that they confirmed they could hear and smell things from my end as well so I'd be mindful about that if you're concerned about privacy. Ken and Ellen didn't have any noise complaints for me and were very accommodating but I still felt self conscious sometimes. The backyard was definitely my favorite part. Very beautiful trees and flowers. The location is perfect too for folks interested in hiking. Overall, I do think this is a great spot for a short stay as is and needs to be upgraded for a longer stay, which I believe Ellen and Ken will do for future guests.
