Laurie is a great host. She is very thoughtful and thorough. She carefully explains how everything works - the locks, the shower, the breakfast, the coffee maker. She is very organized and just great to deal with. And she goes above and beyond the call - I needed a toothbrush and she had one ready - that was nice, but what was amazing was that I later needed distilled water and I was surprised and delighted that she actually had it - I didn't think I would be able to get that just for asking. Laurie gave me suggestions for restaurants and also directions to avoid heavy traffic. The room was perfectly fine, with many thoughtful little touches. She's a great host!
