I felt as if we knew Candace long before we arrived because of our easy pre-visit correspondence where she was most helpful and gracious. The Garden Studio and the outdoor spaces were simply charming. Sometimes I felt as if we were in a treehouse. It is a wonderful space. Hummingbirds were busy just outside the picture window and the backyard was a sanctuary for songbirds. The location of the cottage is key if you like being surrounded by parks and great restaurants. We particularly enjoyed Gino's. Inside the cottage, you will want for absolutely nothing except maybe a TV. Everything from washing machine liquid to cozy comforters were available. We were surprised by the privacy and quietness in such a dense neighborhood. It was very pleasant. All the linens were comfortable and soft. The kitchen was well-equipped and we figured out how to use new equipment. The larder was stocked with basics - oils, vinegars, spices - and a few refrigerated items. This studio is best for those who do not mind climbing up to a loft to sleep. It is not for those who may need to use the bathroom throughout the night and are wobbly on stairs - although the stairs are very user friendly. There is also a futon that can be used for sleeping on the ground floor.
