This artist studio was my home away from home for a week. Marlene certainly made it as comfortable for me as possible. The walls were adorned with Marlene‘s artwork that covered many genres. Nostalgic notary phone on the end table and a record player. I haven’t played record since the 80s. Forgot how much it was to enjoy the albums. I played about everyone. My first was a Tom Jones album and the second song was “A Taste of Honey “how fitting since I’m a beekeeper. This was one of many precious moments. I mistakenly thought there was a kitchen so I can make my eggs and toast in the morning. But to accommodate me I was surprised to find a brand new electric skillet and a toaster when I return to my studio. That made my day! Of all the Airbnb‘s I’ve stayed, the bed was by far the most comfortable with lovely sheets and comforter. For a solo traveler, Marlenes home was a deal. I felt safe – beautiful views – and a short distance to Tennyson Street where one of the best some of the rest restaurants and pubs can be found It’s not always about the space, it’s a love the hosts put into it that shines through. Will miss my studio
