This place was exactly what I was looking for-a quiet place away from all the crazy sights and sounds of the suburbs. The surroundings were peaceful and serene. I am pregnant and very sensitive to sounds, so I booked this place to get away from all the illegal fireworks (4th of July weekend) all around the bay and this place served as just that. Everything was in working order. The views are also beautiful from this studio. The only thing that could be different was if the AC was on/worked. There wasn't a temperature control in the unit and Fara was out of the main house for the weekend. Other than that, no other complaints. Fara was also available to answer questions and messages promptly.
