Less Private Than Expected
Overall, we had a lovely stay! The studio had beautiful lighting, amazing windows, and a nice garden area. The unit was clean and very acceptable.
We were definitely a bit disappointed with the lack of privacy (the “privacy” is what drove us to rent this place over others!). As an FYI there are actually two units in the same building with shared walls. You can hear talking, normal use of cabinets and doors, and general movements/sounds of people in the other unit (even when they are just living normally and producing normal sounds).
Having the blinds open to the large windows is EXCEPTIONAL (honestly, so lovely and relaxing), until your shared unit neighbors walk by and either look in and make prolonged eye contact with you on their way to or from their unit (or, the second renters politely and awkwardly trying not to look your way).
To note, the private patio for this particular unit is directly adjacent to the shared walkway for both rental units and so you may be likely to encounter other renters and/or gardening/cleaning staff, depending on the time of day. One of the days we were relaxing in the early afternoon between activities while the gardener’s leaf blowing was going for 30-ish minutes on and off. There are also some barking dogs in the neighborhood that will alert you of their presence when walking between the car and the unit.
Despite the above, we had a lovely stay overall, but wanted to share our experience so others are informed to make decisions!
