I enjoyed Laurice's place. It was exceptionally clean and she and Phillip were kind enough to supply snacks for me. There is a washing machine and the bed and shower are very comfortable. It was too small for me for a 5 day stay -- it is easy to get cabin fever with only one room + bathroom & laundry/kitchenette -- it feels more like a spot for a weekend stay. Know also that you are in the basement of the house, so overall while they work very hard for peace and quiet, but you will hear various noises: from the dogs barking, doorbells, footsteps above you, flushing toilets, parties, concerts and locals walking next to the house on a public sidewalk. I had a chance to visit with Phillip and he is a very pleasant and a nice person. So it's a nice place -- just manage your expectations relative to size and price you pay.
