Olan is a wonderfully happy host. He set me at ease with speedy email responses. He shared loads of info on his neighborhood and as soon as I got in we walked the handsome Big Al, jack russell terrier, which gave me the lay of the land. Olan cooked me the most colorful, amazing breakfasts! I stayed alone the first few days and it's valuable to know that I felt very safe. The studio is very bohemian artsy with enough room for two adults. My boyfriend Frank arrived midway through the week and loved the cat Tuxie, Big Al and Olan. With the way the studio is set up Frank and I felt like we had enough privacy, felt lucky we had enough snacks and water yet wanted to leave the door open to share our experiences with Olan. We will definitely stay with Olan again and recommend his studio to others!
