    1st of all, it's all self check in and check out. You're given a code for the door. It's our 1st time staying at a place like this. It's not that I didn't like it. it's just not our usual. We had a couple of things that went wrong while we were there. The TV wouldn't work, and at one point, the door lock locked us out(it was super cold that night). Both issues were resolved quickly, just inconvenient.

    Absolutely adorable! Everything was clean. We were in town for a hockey tournament, and it was the perfect location. Great little place, especially if you wanted a weekend getaway.

    I agree with others in the fact it was hard to use booking.com to see which room was the studio. We also thought there would be a mini fridge in the space. Blinds are decorative but with porch lights on it is very bright in the room at night. I suggest new pillows if you can.

    The studio was very clean with nice decor. Close to downtown. Overall we were happy with the room.

    The outside was bare bones. A shared fire pit and perhaps a flower or two. Some decent chairs to sit in and have a glass of wine would have been nice. These are some suggestions. Again the inside of the unit is tastefully decorated and well stocked with every need. Thank you.

    The inside of the unit was lovely.

    The unit had an over powering smell that I had to buy Febreze to overcome. And the shower drain had hair in it when we arrived! So many prior guests have remarked about the shades being too sheer and yet nothing has been changed. Well it’s true. You’ll feel exposed at night and be awakened early.

    The interior design is great.

    We felt underwhelmed and that the room experience was highly unsatisfactory.

    • Stayed 2 nights

    There were several issues. There was no "icebox" or way to keep food and drink cold. The picture shown when we signed up suggested a sense of amenities that was not present in the room. The blinds did not provide much coverage or sense of privacy. The response time to two of our three questions was way outside your one hour you cited. My wife did receive several bug bites from critters in the rug next to the bed. It was our first experience in such a "room" and with Booking.Com. The experience was underwhelming and the cost per night was very high for what little we received.

    The location was reasonably convenient.

    Nothing. This is a good alternative choice for when you want a kitchen and separate sitting area from bedroom.

    This is a recently renovated and very nicely appointed one bedroom with sitting room and kitchen. Everything was modern and clean with good AC and roku television. It was perfect for our weekend stay for a graduation. We had everything we needed to make breakfast and lunch in the room. Good shower and products as well. Also close to the downtown area. Keyless entry, no fuss. Manager was helpful when we forgot the code.

    Impossible to find the right driveway, especially at night. It needs a sign or a light. Even when I knew where it was, I had to drive by 3 or 4 times to find the right driveway. It took us 2 days to figure out how to get tv programming. WiFi password should be posted along with instructions how to navigate the tv menu.

    Location was convenient for us.
