Although I didn't meet Laura in person, I met Laura's mother who helped me check in. She was lovely!
The room was actually more like my own private space in a guesthouse - I had my own ensuite bathroom, lockable door, etc. My room even came with cleaning and free breakfast at a local cafe.
The place is very close to public transport: subway and bus. Impeccably clean, awesome communication, very central - great stay! Would highly recommend.
