It has been nine long months and we’ve been sheltering in place, working from home in our small apartment, generally leaving the house for occasional trips to the grocery store. We’d be doing the same this holiday except we really wanted to get away someplace close by, with someplace following the same strict Covid procedures we’ve been following since the start.
Sonia ‘s studio was just the thing. It was spotless, with an upscale full kitchen for takeout and warming up breakfast food, roomy bathroom with all the products you need to start your day, a comfy bed that encouraged us to sleep more than we’ve been doing for months, but most of all Sonia’s gracious manner and hospitality.
When we arrived on Wednesday night, we found a bottle of champagne in the fridge along with some juice and sparkling waters as well as chocolate on our pillow just like the best hotel. We could feel the tension leaving our bodies as we sat down to an evening drink and some snacks we brought. The stay just got better from there.
The Studio is in a quiet residential neighborhood where we didn’t hear a sound from the time we went to bed to the time we got up in the morning. Opening the shade flooded the studio with light and although temperatures got down to the 30s and 40s, we never needed to turn on the heat at all.
Sonia provided comfy blankets and quilts for sleep, and in the morning we had the sunshine through our beautiful bedroom window.
I can’t say enough about how spotless the studio is. We were a little apprehensive leaving town for just the second time in a long while but we are so glad we spent a few days in this beautiful quiet studio. We can’t think Sonia and her family enough!
And as if the studio wasn’t wonderful enough, there’s a short walk to a beautiful little park, a short drive to two other beautiful parks, and every kind of grocery and takeout restaurant available within just a few minutes drive in any direction. It’s a perfect location if you want to get away from it all but want to be near civilization if you need it.
Oh and did we mention the shower/tub - plenty of hot water, rain shower head with lots of pressure, and again spotless.
And to give just one example of how attentive to guess needs Sonia and her family are, the Netflix blitzed on Thanksgiving night and yet she sent someone - I think her son -over right away to fix it. That is customer service and concern for your patrons of the highest order and we will not ever forget this beautiful stay. Thank you Sonia.
