LaurieAnn is a hospitable hostess and an enjoyable person to talk to. The room was private and quiet (LaurieAnn was apologetic for some renovation work that was going on, but the noise level was quite ok). LaurieAnn was respectful of my privacy while being approachable, available and attentive to whatever I needed. The cats, especially Ginger, were friendly and quiet and did not encroach upon my space in any way. The neighbourhood is a charming one with beautiful houses and LaurieAnn's house was a short 10-minute walk to supermarkets and restaurants although it is quite a distance to the BART station. Overall, it was an enjoyable stay and LaurieAnn was a perfect hostess.
