The Residence

The bike school residence started out both smaller and simpler. It now features 4 individual bedrooms, each with its own heating. Every bedroom has sheets, pillows and duvets, towels, plus a desk or table.

The kitchen contains dishes, pots, pans and several types of coffee makers. There are extra individual food storage boxes to keep your goodies away from ants. (Ants sneak in thru the doors people leave open.) There is large shared refrigerator and an 8 foot butcher block counter for food prep. 

The common area includes the dining area and a living room overlooking the south-facing deck through a glass patio door. The main entryway is covered to shelter you & bicycles during the rainy seasons.

Note: As this is a school environment, drugs and alcohol will not be used on the property.
