My partner and our two dogs had a really lovely time staying in Benjamin’s studio. It was exactly what we needed—a centrally-located, pet friendly, affordable space with full kitchen and bathroom—but the place also turned out, much to our delight, to be super cute and tidy, and Benjamin turned out to be a wonderful, responsive host.
Based on some of the other reviews, we were expecting it to feel smaller than pictured, but for us it was actually the opposite, which was a nice surprise. There was plenty of space to put our suitcases and large dog kennel and still move around comfortably. And the easy access to the beautiful backyard makes it feel larger, too. We *did* start to feel a little snug towards the end of our five-day stay, but that’s to be expected.
One thing to consider is the bathroom situation, which is a bit unique. It wasn’t an issue for us at all but I could imagine it posing problems for some. First of all, the bathroom is about 18 inches off the floor, so would be prohibitive for anyone with limited mobility. And it also very much feels like it’s part of the room. There’s a sliding closet-type door, so there’s some visual privacy, but I would really only recommend staying here solo or with someone you’re *very* comfortable with:)
