The place was just the right size to crash at the end of the day. Only a 10 minute drive to the downtown area! Plenty of parking available and the neighborhood felt safe. Even during winter, the sun was shining nicely through the block glass windows in the morning. The “blackout curtains” are more so dark curtains that shade the light a little. The listing says the in-law studio is sound proof, but we heard voices and a cat in the main house a few times. It made the feeling of privacy a bit harder to come by. Only used the hot plate once and mostly planned meals around using the microwave or no-heat food.
