Karen was an exceptional host. She was not in the area at my time of stay but she was extremely effective with communicating about any of my questions/concerns and making sure I had multiple options of contacting her. Left very clear and thorough instructions for getting in and out of the studio/building which were very helpful. Keys were left in lockbox right outside front door when I arrived for my stay. Studio was comfortable enough for two people to have a space to relax, chill, leave luggage etc. during a stay or trip. For our trip we did not spend very much time at the studio itself so it was okay, but it would be nice to have a small TV or some puzzles/board games available for guests to entertain themselves after they return from any sightseeing or activities in the area and unwind for the night. We were only staying overnight for a concert so we packed very light so this probably wouldn't be a concern for guests staying for a few days or more who bring more luggage and personal entertainment along for their trip.
