This private studio was amazing. We liked that it was a separate structure from the main house, allowing for privacy. It is located right in the backyard and is easy to walk to from the street along the side of the house. The space is wonderful - newly renovated, very clean, and spacious. Lucy went above and beyond a regular host with the many amenities she provided: complimentary drinks and snacks, access to free Netflix, and many toiletries: shampoo/conditioner/body wash, but also first aid, lotion, q-tips, and a really nice hair dryer (according to my girlfriend) and make up remover (also a big plus according to my girlfriend). Due to fire code, no open flame is allowed, but Lucy provides LED candles complete with a remote for your enjoyment. Also, Lucy asks that you not wear your shoes in the unit, but she provides single-use slippers for you to wear. In other words, she is considerate and offers alternatives to whatever restrictions she asks of the guest.

The kitchenette was excellent, with lots of counter and drawer space, and new appliances. And Lucy provides free access to laundry facilities (a quick walk across the backyard to the main house - there is a separate entrance to a public area of the basement where the newer washer/dryer are). She also provides complimentary detergent/laundry supplies. Because of all this, and its affordability, this place is great place to stay on a long trip (we stayed 4 nights). And it is easy to check yourself in and out, as well as come and go during your stay, since both the unit and the laundry room have keyless access - Lucy gives you a code to punch in, so no dealing with physical keys.

Beyond all this, what I most appreciated is that Lucy sent us a welcome packet before our stay, which provided detailed instructions on everything: how to check-in and lock/unlock the doors, how to do laundry, how to operate the TV/Netflix, what bus lines and stops were nearby and where they went, garbage/recycling/compost disposal, as well as a list of house rules, available amenities, and the wifi network and password. This welcome packet is also printed out for you in the unit. I appreciated knowing all this in detail ahead of time, and then having it to look at again once I arrived.

My girlfriend and I loved staying here, and highly recommend Lucy and her space! We will definitely be back.
