What makes a great host? Communication, and Lawren is amazing. He contacted me early about our pending trip to see what we might need and made sure we found toys and books to amuse our grandson whom we were visiting. He really paid attention to little things we said and surprised us with special touches. The house looks lovely in the photos but it is even nicer in person. Very clean with a well supplied kitchen. We never had difficulty finding nearby parking , steps from stores, parks, a library, and public trans. In a quiet neighborhood, very easy to get to downtown touristy stuff with or without a car but also quick and easy to hop on 280 and 101.
