Laura's place is a great place to stay if you're in town for a few days. It's cozy and just enough space for two people. The bed is on the softer side, but the sheets were clean and there were plenty of blankets. The location is great; we hardly needed to use public transportation since everything was within walking distance for us, but there are literally bus stops around the corner.
Like it says, this place is a basement but it doesn't feel like a basement while you're there. There's two windows that open if needed and light comes through in the afternoon, there are working appliances in the kitchenette except a microwave and no TV, but the WiFi signal was strong. You can hear when people are walking above you and if the neighbors have their windows open, you can hear them talking, but it was never an issue and the neighborhood was quiet in the evening. Speaking of neighbors, we were lucky enough to meet them the first night we were there and they were super nice.
Laura was a great host. We only needed to contact her a few times for odds and ends, but she was quick to respond and very accommodating.
