Packing for a Studio Stay?

[pigletto]

We are renting points and spending 12 nights in studios (OKW and BWV) at the end of the month.
Does anyone know if there is a packing list somewhere that I could view? If not perhaps useful items that you bring with you?

I've got a garden grocer order in already. I also made sure to include coffee filters, sugar, coffee and cream (essential items).

Any suggestions? My own laundry soap for the laundry room? Clorox wipes for quick bathroom and kitchen clean ups? Plastic cups and Bowls?

Advice is appreciated

Plastic cups and bowls are a good idea, as are Glad sort of containers for the extras.

I know you can get from mousekeeping wine glasses because they have them for the larger villas, but I don't know if you can get a cutting board, real knives, real silverware, because in the studio you only have plastic utensils. If you are checking a bag, I would check the bag with some of those things.

You will need laundry detergent, maybe drier sheets or else the "all in one" sort of product.

Lucky you, a 12 night vacation. So far our longest has been 9 nights!

I pack a fabric shoe organizer, a tip I borrowed from the cruise board, for the studio. It really helps keeps cosmetics organized.

You can probably get Garden Grocery to pick up a container of clorox wipes so you don't run the chance of it leaking in your luggage.

I also bring along rubber bands or metal binder clips to close bags of snacks and chips.

Laundry soap and dryer sheets. Since you will need to lug your clothes to the laundry room its best to get a mesh laundry bag. One like this. http://www.nextag.com/Homz-19X28X9-Laundry-Bag-859651283/prices-html

You can find them in Walmart in the aisle where ironing boards are. The one I got was bigger than the one in this picture

We were able to get all the paper bowls and plates and plasticware that we wanted for our 19 night stay. We always take a power strip on all vacations now too

A wireless router. A sharp knife if you like to buy cheese and a cutting board, I'm pretty sure you can't get these from mousekeeping but you can get wine glasses and a corkscrew.

The refrigerator in a studio is a small one. A gallon of milk with fill it up, but a half gallon works well. The freezer is 3 inches high and narrower than the fridge so only a couple of frozen entries would fit it. And many have mentioned that it doesn't freeze ice well. However, you can get ice from the icemaker in building.

Great suggestions! Thank you everyone
I already have the suitcases out and can start on the little things we won't need until the trip. Getting close now!

We have a microwave egg poacher that we use when staying in a studio. DH likes eggs and bacon for breakfast once in a while and we fix both in the microwave.
