Cozy studio above main house

It is above the owner's house so you have to be aware of noise. It is very clean and comfortable. My only complaint is poor lighting and a small mirror in the bathroom. When doing hair and applying make up was a challenge. Also I could not get the TV to work. It had no internet access. It said there was access to hulu but I could not get the TV to work at all but I did not contact the owner as it was late. Overall I really enjoyed the stay. It is very close access to everything and very clean and comfortable. The water that was left as well as all of the coffee selection for the morning was nice. Would recommended for quick stay.

Electrical problem

We had several issues that were not Veronica’s problems. We had to cancel our stay because of very heavy traffic and long delays on our way to New York. When we arrived the following morning there had been an accident in Veronica’s neighborhood which took out all the electricity for hours. We had a wedding to attend that afternoon so had to find a hotel as the b&b had no power Unfortunately we had to cancel our stay and were given a refund. Veronica’s place is lovely and had things turned out differently we would have enjoyed staying there. .

Although the room is an annexe to Veronica's house, it does not feel like it. It's super private with its balcony, the room is large and it has everything you need. It's adorable, with nice decorations and I instantly felt at home. I was by myself but I think it's also perfect for a couple and I'd love to stay there with my boyfriend next time! I was going to the office in Woodmere every morning - it was super handy with the Uber and there was no traffic. I absolutely loved waking up to the calmness and hearing the birds. Highly recommend!
