Lakshmi has a beautiful, well-decorated, historical home, and I appreciated it's proximity to restaurants and bars. She provided suggestions for nearby attractions and services (ex. COVID testing) as well as a thorough walk-through of the house when we arrived to explain its quirks. It's worth noting that the house sits a few feet away from an apartment building (also run by Lakshmi) and due to the thin walls/windows, you must be mindful of noise especially during quiet hours. You must also be mindful of ants, especially in the kitchen; maybe it's the season that we visited, but even with emptying the trash every couple of days, it's hard to avoid them from gathering around the trash can. Not a huge deal, but it's a thing.
Pro-tip: We had people coming and going throughout our week-long stay, never exceeding the strict 7-person max. If you're in the same boat, upon arrival, I suggest notifying Lakshmi and/or the guard of when people are arriving and leaving, as the guards keep tabs on the max person limit.
