Amalia is a very kind and hospitable hostess. We enjoyed meeting her and she left fruit for us in the outdoor cooking area. We stayed for 5 nights and would not recommend this for people with bad knees or delicate backs. The four stairs going down into the studio are the only way in or out of the room. It was not convenient to do the stairs and cross the cold patio in the night to use the bathroom. The walk in bathtub is not for a bath but only for using the hand held shower which has ample flow and hot water for a shower while you sit. However, my husband had to hold the shower for me in order for me to wash my hair. If you need two hands to wash your hair, you need a third hand to hold the shower head over you while you wash and rinse. At least that was my experience.
The king size bed did not support my back, and left me with a backache each morning. I also have a bad knee, and it was not easy going up and down the stairs to enter or leave the room, for using the bathroom and cooking.
With the cooking facilities on the patio, it was a lot like camping out. Blaze the black lab, was very friendly and always came out to greet us when we were on the patio. He is very smart, is a good watch dog, and minds you. The location is good and a safe place to stay. You could not ask for a better hostess than Amalia. Even though it was not a good fit for us, it could be the perfect place for others.
