I can grocery shop for you, or take you with me when I go, if you do not have a car. You can easily walk, umbrella provided. You can grab a bike with a lock. I drive to campus nearly every day, or another guest at Cajun Cottage does, catch a ride. Uber. Often, there is an old beat up Elantra named Hester Sue, you can rent for cheap, if you drive a manual transmission. It is not perfect, but it is quiet, clean, comforting. I tried to anticipate needs. If you need something ask! Most of our guests are international post docs at ND, and lots of traveling nurses and interns. FOOTBALL/JPW/GRADUATION BOOKINGS 2 NIGHT MINIMUM. I DONT START BOOKING FOOBALL UNTIL AUGUST 15th. IF YOU TRY AND BOOK FOR ONE NIGHT THE CANCELLATION PENALTY IS YOURS. Guest access You have your space. You are also allowed access to large patio and firepit at Cajun Cottage, 3 blocks away. You have access to the full kitchen at Cajun Cottage, if you want to bake, or have a gathering for colleagues and friends. I cook a " family" dinner at Cajun Cottage once a week, as well as brunch on Sunday. We watch bad tv, or play a board game. Unwind from a busy week working and researching. Often dessert is around the firepit! I am as near or as far away as you need me to be. Other things to note TWO NIGHT MINIMUM FOR FOOTBALL WEEKEND, $650 regardless of usual monthly or daily rate. If you try and book it for other rate, the cancellation penalty is yours! I do not book for football weekend until August 1. The interns and students need time to get accepted and book affordable home for the semester. I will take fabulous care of you if you get to come for football at ND...but my priority is students and medical visitors. The STUDIO is close to the hospital. I have had three guests here who needed an oasis while they waited for loved ones at the ICU. Memorial is a trauma care hospital. Others with kids at cancer center NICU. made a lot of soup and packed a lot of carry in dinners for those folks, Including a surprise birthday cake, and apple turnovers once, to tempt a fussy palate. I am flexible and would like to help if you need me too. I had one guy stay and he was so sick for three days. I had to move him into my room, while I slept on the sofa, because the Studio was booked immediately when he was scheduled to check out. He was way too sick to travel. Sent him to my doctor, and poured homemade chicken soup down him until he could function again! I hemmed a dress for a girl auditioning at ND...typical kid, wait til the last minute to see if your stuff is ready for an important event! It got done, and we got her there. Took her for ice cream after to hear all about the audition. Her mother had her first cancer treatment and could not come. I regularly host long term interns. People doing research at ND. I am flexible, calm, practical. I can never talk to you, or make you tea and hear all about it. Whatever you need for your trip to be successful,and restful.
