a few minor issues to be aware of prior to booking
We appreciated our stay at the Zen Studio, but had some minor inconveniences: The door does not have a deadbolt or security lock, just a door handle twist lock. There is a large gap under the door, big enough for the mouse we found in the VRBO to come in, which we had to then chase around and out the door. We contacted the host about the mouse and they said they would “let the owner know” and we heard nothing after that, VRBO itself was no help either. We shoved a towel under the door to prevent more critters from coming in. The bed is VERY soft, which works great for a lot of people but not everyone. The studio has an AC swamp cooler in the wall (shown in pictures) as the only cooling system, for which you are instructed by the host to open the windows 6” for it to cool the space at a decent rate. There is not a microwave in the unit, only a toaster oven and an electric portable burner (we should have looked closer at the pictures… we thought the toaster oven in pics was a microwave). The pictures are not up to date as there is some different furniture and furnishings now. There was also hair on the bedspread and floor of the bathroom when we arrived, as well as a towel with makeup stains on it. Pleasant surprises: oils diffuser, herbal tea provided, nice new windows, quaint space, no noise issues, tv (we didn’t turn it on).
