I needed some down time, interspersed with a bit of work, and Laura's lovely, quiet home was perfect. She responded quickly to all of my questions, was there to greet me when I arrived, and included lots of great touches -- tourist info and guidebooks, breakfast, toiletries as needed, chocolates! The location was good as well. I didn't have a car, but it was easy to get to Laura's from the airport via the bus and Metro.
