Overall I enjoyed my stay at Colleen’s place. Great stay for its price. She is a warm, welcoming host and her house is neatly organized, situated in a nice quiet neighborhood. She maintained highly communicative throughout. I enjoyed working in the backyard while drinking coffee and listening to the water fountain and birds chirping. Mini fridge was handy and not too noisy. The shard bathroom has a ventilator AND a heater which I think is great for people who get cold easily.
Few things to note:
For those of you who enjoy cooking, the Kitchenette is not equipped with the food garbage disposal nor ventilation. If you are a person who also enjoy good smell in your studio, you need to pick either cooking or smelling good.
Also, there doesn’t seem to be ventilation for the other studio as well. During my stay I was able to smell his food all the time. It smelled delicious but the smell stayed for some time.
It is a basement space so anticipate the slight moldy smell (all basement owners should know what I mean)
The door is frequently left open which I believe allowed bugs like flys and spiders to get into my studio.
