I spent Christmas at Lois' fabulous apartment with my family who came from Germany. Lois was helpful and very friendly and otherwise let our family celebrate in privacy.
Even though she posed the challenge to please find something that was missing, we couldn't! Her kitchen and linen closets are better stocked than my own. She also had everything we needed for my 10month old nephew! Lois had her grandkids over for Christmas and we could hear them have fun upstairs, which was perfect for us because we brought a guitar and also got a bit noisy at times. Her apartment is very cozy and the whole experience was great. It felt personal and warm without impeding our privacy. Thanks, Lois!
