The Garden studio is very comforable with a bright southern exposure overlooking teh garden. In addition to a comfortable bed, the studio offered a kitchen w/refrigerator stocked with eggs, milk, jam, etc. washer/drier, hot plate, microwave, toaster, and dishes. Breakfast was DYI for me due to being on eastern time. The den with wood burning stove made for a cozy place to read, the bathroom had an interesting map of the mideast on the wall, tiled shower small but functional.

EVERYTHING was very clean. There also was a sense of sustainablity in the use of re-useable things. My host was considerate not to expose me to the cold she was sufferning at the time which was greatly appreciated.

Don't be put off by the neighborhood. It is safe and convenient.

Overall, a great place to stay and a good experience.
