We had a lovely stay at Laurie's place. It is impeccably clean and extremely well-appointed, and we loved how close it is to Fresh Pond. Our dog seemed to feel very happy and relaxed too, which is high (okay, top :) on our list of priorities. The central air conditioning was a relief to us all during last week's heatwave. It sounds like a small thing, but we also really appreciated the fact that Laurie uses clean/scent-free products in her home--as people with allergies, travel can sometimes be rough. Overall, a great trip!
