Laura is friendly and helpful, and her cats are a joy to play with when they’re comfortable with you. Even though you’re more than welcome to have the cats join you in the room, I was pleased to see that the room itself felt very clean and separated from them on its own prior to my arrival.
Yes there is an odor in the bathroom. As someone who as lived with pets for most of my life, this is something I was able to handle and adjust to. Other guests who are not used to such odors may be advised against any long term stay if this will be a problem for them.
Overall a pleasurable stay, the space has great value. I would highly recommend Laura as a host.
