Hosting is an art form and Laura really gets that. Laura really cares about her guests experience and is so responsive and so genuine in wanting you to be happy staying there. She welcomed some things I brought from home. I was able to check in early and checkout was noon which was perfect! A full kitchen in a basement apartment is rare, especially a stove which was so nice. Everything is pristine, clean and new. Comfortable bed. I did not need a space heater once and was appreciative because I tend to run cold. I had never lived with a pump in the bathroom. Everything works perfectly, but it does make a brief noise afterwards. I have very sensitive ears but others might not notice it. But I easily adapted to it, and the bathroom is like new. Their kitty, Wanda was an amazing host as well! I adore her, and enjoyed her visits and company. I will def miss her. Peaceful stay and kind people.
