Response from the owner Our rental studio has been on the market only for one month (since July 2014). "Pancho666923" was our 6th guest in that time and it saddened us to have had our first "sour grapes" experience. I think it is important for guests to read the information provided on the website before booking. It would have, in this case I believe, avoided some of their disappointments. Our listing states clearly that there is a microwave and refrigerator only. It is advertised and photographed as such. It surprised me to learn within minutes of the couple arriving that they loved to cook, wanted to make gazpacho -- where was the blender, mixer, and coffee maker? I told them there was not a full kitchen; we clearly did not represent having same. Nonetheless we offered to provide them our personal items as we live on premise. Bed comfort is very subjective and I understand some guests want a conventional bed. This is not what we provide. But neither is this a camping experience. This is not a aerobed thrown on the floor. This is the Queen guest bed made by a well-established company Frontgate -- it is the top of their line of beds. It is portable. We purchased their optional memory foam top for added comfort. I first experienced this bed as a guest in a hotel -- the Kimber Modern in Austin, TX and loved it. When I set up the guest room this year I specifically called the hotel to get the name of the bed as I felt it would be perfect for this guest application. I don't want anyone here who is not completely comfortable. I have taken much time and effort to make this a beautiful accommodation. Seeing that these guests had expectations not met I offered to help them within the hour of their arrival find a hotel and a refund of all my proceeds. They declined and stayed the night. The next morning they informed me they wanted to leave and so I refunded 2 of the 3 nights of my proceeds. I was not obligated to refund anything contractually. I feel others have really enjoyed their stay. Time will tell as other reviews come in. Thank you.
