We unintentionally arrived before the studio was ready and Karen met up with us so we could drop off our luggage. She was incredibly welcoming and friendly, and made us feel right at home. The studio is much nicer and bigger in person, and it's very clean. Almost everything you would think to need is there, from toiletries to kitchen stuff. Karen also left us some yummy cookies and chocolates, which was a really nice touch.

The view from the studio is really nice. The yard is kinda woodsy and makes you feel like you have a lot of privacy. It's really close to bus transportation and the airport, and the upstairs tenants are quiet and helpful.

This listing says no smoking allowed but we made the assumption that we were allowed to smoke outside. We found out after the first or second night that it was a no smoking *property*. No big deal, we just went for walks, just good to know if you're a smoker. Overall, we had a really nice time and Karen was an awesome host.
