Onci Olimpia and Damian Alexandru recently transformed a garden home into a compact cottage for guests. With the rise of 'Airbnb,' many homeowners have been eager to rent out their home and earn some extra cash. This cozy backyard cottage doubles as a simple vacation home.
'Garden Studio Timisoara' is located on a large garden plot in Timisoara, Romania. The compact cottage features a small kitchen, a bathroom and a spacious living area. To save space, the seating area can be converted into two beds for sleeping. The interior features minimalist Scandinavian features and warm pine accents.
