Linda's studio is an absolutely beautiful place with a private patio. When we arrived, we found fresh fruits from her garden (papaya, bananas and oranges - yummy! ;-)) on the table and pasta in the cupboard to get us started. Linda was very nice and gave us advice about the beaches and visiting the volcano, where you can easily get to from there. We found some DVDs to watch at night and could use her washer/dryer. We highly recommend the place, it's really beautiful and relaxing! And, btw, Linda has the cutest puppy in the world!! Thank you for having us!
