Excellent location, close to restaurants, grocery stores, Starbucks, downtown, and I-240. Clean and well equipped as well.
As far as the noise above, Lauryl is transparent about this in the description of the property. We did not find it bothersome, and in fact, on this very same trip we stayed in a Hilton hotel for one night and had to call management about the noise above our room at 11 p.m. The few sounds we heard at Lauryl’s did not approach anything we have experienced at hotels in the past.
A couple things to be aware of — the neighborhood and house is on a hill. The apartment is in the basement accessed along the side of the house via large architectural stones. The step into the apartment is a TALL step. My husband is 6’1” — he had just as much difficulty getting in as I did (at a foot shorter), and we are active walkers and hikers.
There is a great porch off of the back that you can enjoy morning coffee and evening adult beverages. The view is obstructed by the house lower down on the hill — but the cedar trees planted by those neighbors help keep the porch somewhat private, which is great as the back windows don’t have curtains.
Luella’s BBQ is about a five minute drive away. In the evening they typically have a line but you can call for take out and enjoy it on the back porch. The meat and sides cannot be beaten.
