My husband and I wanted to stay someplace within walking distance of Hillcrest and decided to give Belinda's studio a try. It was outstanding! Here are some specifics:
NEIGHBORHOOD: Very nice & safe - about a 20-30 minute walk to Hillcrest
STUDIO OVERALL: VERY clean and well designed
KITCHEN: Well stocked with a 4-burner stove & oven, a big microwave a small fridge/freezer and a Brita pitcher
BED: Queen size - very comfortable with modern, fresh bedding that I want to buy for our place
BATHROOM: Compact, but well-designed, with toilet paper, paper towels, a stand-up shower, a soft-soap dispenser on the sink, good towels, a little hairdryer and some travel-sized shampoos (bring your own conditioner, soap & toothpaste)
THE HOSTESS: We didn't get to meet her (it was a holiday weekend), but she'd thoughtfully laid out all sorts of local information and checked in on us to make sure everything was going well.
Overall, we would highly recommend Belinda and her studio. Great experience.
