We wanted to enjoy a few days of nature, and Steven’s place was perfect for that. The windows of the studio open right into a redwoods forest, there are skylights above, and the back patio is literally built around a redwood in the forest. The studio was also conveniently located across the street from a very nice grassy park and within 5-10 min driving distance to grocery stores, restaurants, and beaches. Steven is very nice and, when he saw us in the front yard, would ask if we needed anything. He was also very sweet to our dog, who would rush to him to be petted.
Steven’s studio is compact, but he made very efficient use of the small space. It has a small kitchen, bathroom, fridge, and various cooking appliances that are tucked away but that you can bring out to use. We made light breakfasts there, but tried local restaurants for most of our other meals. The toilet is a masticating toilet and sounds different when flushed, which took a little getting used to, but did not bother us. Finally, note that because of the small quarters, inside the studio, there’s not much privacy between you and whoever you’re traveling with.
Overall, we had a great stay here. Thanks, Steven!
