Next door to the event space where I attended a wedding. Everything was walkable. The studio itself was super cute. Two things that came up for me: I was a little too short (5' 4") to reach the Murphy bed but eventually get it. Maybe a stool or tall companion would be helpful. And, although there was a sign about the shower hot/cold situation, the temp was either very hot or very cold. I couldn't find the sweet spot. The bed, linens, and amenities were great. I particularly enjoyed poking around all the books, gems, records, tarot cards, plants, and other decor. Overall, this is a great find! I would definitely stay here again but will ask for help with the shower next time. Thank you!! ##### Katrina B.

The location was more than ideal as we did not have to start or move the car the entire weekend! Everything we were interested in for our first trip was within walking distance. The house is adjacent to a night club but that didn’t bother us too much as we had a long day and were exhausted from all the fun experiences. Thanks for a great host! ##### Taylor A.

Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul f. 4 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Getaway to Wilmington The apartment is located near everything in Wilmington, so once you park you can leave your car there. The space is generous enough for two people, a comfortable couch becomes a supercomfortable queen-sized murphy bed. There are plenty of books for reading, a great boho aesthetic and a fully equipped kitchen, large enough for a extended stay and for cooking/eating within the space. The bathroom is quite large \[full shower-plenty of towels\] with ample storage for clothes within the closet and expansive bathroom counter. The laundry facilities are on the property in a separate area, easy to access. The one suggestion I would make is perhaps to leave a detailed guest legend or book providing things such as laundry location, wifi passwords, etc in addition to notes about clean up or restaurant suggestions, so that a guest would not have to pester the host. All in all this was a great experience and I would sincerely reccomend Jennifer and this place for others, as well as visiting this space again either for a quick three day trip or for a full week. The location and decor make this a great spot for year round enjoyment. ##### Paul f. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022 ---
