Sam's communication before our visit was superb. Clear, detailed, welcoming--writing this I realize how much that enhanced our stay, since I already felt like we were staying with someone we knew. Sam was flexible about check-in, and the studio is sooooo lovely! Pristine, comforting, quiet, elegant--the bed was sooooo comfortable.
The gardens right outside the studio are also beautiful, and a neighbor has a little fountain that accompanies the birds. The studio is a bit out of town, but I write that only in case that makes someone hesitate-because it was really a quick drive (and its on public transport) into town and it was such a lovely place (with yummy banana bread in the morning! an unexpected treat) that its worth the little drive. We would absolutely stay here again the next time we're in town. Thank so much, Sam!
