The studio was small and neat, we were able to arrange it in a way that worked for us very easily. No issues with parking, you get to park right on the street outside, which is perfect. The room was not ready when we paid, but rosemary was very generous with her time that first night, making sure we had clean linens and everything to be comfortable.
We stayed for three weeks. And were left to ourselves, which was nice, reasonable privacy and complete independence. The only issue was internet, it was non existent, with web pages timing out constantly, even when wired in via Ethernet. One of us is in IT, and troubleshot everything, but the flaw was really the speed wired into the studio, pinging speeds shower than the worst form of dial up.
This would have been a glowing review similar to the others above, with us skipping over any of the minor flaws such as the loss of power for nine hours one day (a issue with her property only, not a neighborhood thing), until rosemary's passive aggressive message after we left, and her defensive stance when we mentioned internet issues. Instead of fixing anything, she said she would try to get a refund for her internet for the past month etc, but I'm sorry, unless you are gong to offer your guests a refund, or at least pass along the refund from your provider, that is useless to us. Then in the afformentioned message she accused us of removing (and taking?) The handles to her mini fridge, which, if anyone is familiar with mini fridges, the handles are indents on top of the door to grip, and I assure you they are very much still there. And then went on to accuse us of putting a hole in her doorframe - which let me clarify - you will be staying in a furnished shed, the construction of which was hasty to say the least. We left it in the exact state in which we found it, no modifications or damages.
Normally we are a very generous couple with reviews but in this case I think we are both insulted by the implications from our host and i feel that blunt honesty is the best approach.
I found rosemary very welcoming and friendly initially, if perhaps a little disorganized. But over the last twenty four hours, she seemed set on finding some fault with our stay. Though i will put a thumbs up because of the studio itself being practical, I would not return.
