I had a lovely time staying in Tatiana's basement studio-- the space itself was great (especially the shower). I loved spending mornings lounging in the sun in the backyard on the AstroTurf on the roof of the garage. Tatiana was out of town for most of my stay, but she was always available via phone if I needed anything. There was a small snafu with the wifi, but we were able to fix it. There were other such problems but they were all manageable in the end, and everything ended up making for a fabulous spring in Highland Park :)
