Joanne and Dirk’s little furnished studio was very comfortable and beautiful. We actually arrived earlier than the check in time and Joanne kindly let us place our things down inside while she cleaned the place in preparation for our stay. Joanne was also very responsive and good at communicating with us prior to the trip. She gave us really great recommendations before and while we were in town!
The studio was very lovely and artistic. It was well- equipped with a refrigerator, stove, plates/bowls, utensils, placemats, etc. We were able to cook a few meals inside. Our wonderful hosts also provided a list of restaurant recommendations with their own review of the food/drinks, which was really helpful. The bathroom was also stocked with shampoo/conditioner, razors, bandaids, and Q-tips. Extra towels and bed sheets were also provided. Since the studio is downstairs in the basement, we could hear voices and footsteps from the house above, but we didn’t mind it much. Regardless, we loved the studio so much we even neglected one of our hiking trips to just relax in the studio. That tells you a lot about the place.
I truly believe that where you stay the night really adds to your experience when traveling. Joanne/ Dirk definitely helped give us the best experience on our short trip. I would definitely recommend this studio to all!
