Has to be one of the best stays I've had an I travel for work a lot, last minute accommodations req
Pros:

I'd reccommend people stay with this host. I'd booked online in a mad rush while travelling for work. Didn't check my confirmation details correctly. Arrived late in the evening unable to access lockbox - sent a text to the host. Even though it was my mistake, Danny allowed access to the property. The venue was immaculate, considering the host was not expecting anyone and also wasn't onsite when I arrived, the studio was perfect. Everything was clean, and looked like they had prepared it for my stay. It was beautiful, relaxing, comfortable and warm.

Cons:

not applicable
