I had a wonderful time hanging out at Laura's place, particularly the porch swing, but also her lovely living and dining room. Her furniture is lovely! I made do without a car just fine. The neighborhood can sometimes look a little sketchy, but walking around it felt very safe and family oriented with a great mix of people (and porches!). There after bungalows all over. "Bungalow Heaven" is right next door. The buses to downtown were easy. There's a great vegetarian place a couple blocks away, and another fancy hotdog spot I didn't get to try. Though Laura was gone so much I felt like I had the place to myself, in the evenings when she returned we had great conversations. Relaxed and clean, this is a great home to stay in. Thanks Laura!
