We met Laura when we arrived. She showed us the room and the common areas, and took a good amount of time to show how to operate the TV with Roku (not a familiar with that setup). Her dog, Max, is friendly--he wanted to play on the bed! It's a beautiful house inside, well decorated. Room was comfortable with the window a/c unit. Bed was good and firm. Never noticed much noise from the street or elsewhere; the rumble of the Metro was noticeable but not bothersome. I really liked being able to park the car inside a locked gate. Having the Metro so close was very convenient, as we were there for a Dodgers game and made use of the shuttle from Union Station. GO DODGER BLUE! GOD BLESS VIN SCULLY!
