Colleen was kind and flexible with our last minute change to the reservation, great at communicating and providing detailed instructions for a smooth check in. We really enjoyed every interaction we had with her - some wonderful conversations with this lovely centered human being. :) Colleen's place was spotless, the cleanliness of the studio and the house in general put us at ease. It is a basement space you will be living in, it is fully finished and smells clean. The studio had one egress window which we could open to air it out. We were cold on the first night, but Colleen provided us with a space heater the next day which warmed the place quickly in about 15 minutes, and occasionally the house's heating would come on and provide warm air. We were expecting to only share the bathroom(which was just outside our door) on weekends, but it turns out there was another guest staying in the bedroom next to ours the whole week we were there. That being said, we only had to wait once or twice for our turn. The bathroom was great, modern and updated, dual flush toilet, wonderful shower + shower pressure, and an amazing heater/fan combination that heated the place in minutes. The studio space was great, very spacious, with a cute little kitchen that fit all our needs for light meals. We ended up using the kitchen sink for brushing teeth etc, which was very handy. The mini fridge was on the larger side, with a separate freezer sitting ontop - lots of space for keeping food. We were able to spread out and make it home for the week we were there. Based on the pictures and captions, we were expecting a King bed, but it was actually two twin beds put together with separate sheets. The mattresses were medium firm. The house is older, so occasional creaking floorboards could be heard from upstairs, bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper. Colleen allowed us to park one of our cars in the driveway which we were grateful for. The backyard is a beautiful oasis in which to meditate, work, or enjoy meals in the sunshine. The neighborhood is full of families, very nice, safe, central, lots of street parking. We feel like we've made a new friend in Colleen! :)
