One can't get any closer to Forest Park than from Carol's lovely studio. One entrance to the park (lower macleay trail) is a mere 3 blocks away. The NW neighborhood is also part retreat, part city; with the very tasty St. Honore bakery being a short 10 minute walk. All these city amenities are perfectly complimented by the amenities found in the studio. It's a great little retreat of coziness: from the welcoming living area, the spacious bed, the very modern bathroom, the quickly accessible and equally comfortable backyard, and the brightness of the kitchen. The space is filled with detail that is really a reflection of Carol, the owner. Upon arrival, I immediately felt welcomed and enjoyed sharing a conversation with her; her vibrancy made my day!
