Dede and her beautiful studio were exactly what my boyfriend and I were looking for! The neighborhood is lovely and quiet, with plenty of food and activity just around the corner. Dede welcomed us warmly but then left us to come and go as we pleased. We had plenty of privacy as the studio is nestled quite a ways back from the main house. The studio itself was very spacious and had all the amenities (and more) that any fancy hotel would have. She generously provided coffee and treats as well as total access to the lovely pool and backyard. I highly recommend staying here and will definitely be back myself.
