Laurie's apartment was a wonderful home base for our visits with family and explorations in the city. The house and neighborhood were both quiet and peaceful, which we appreciated very much, yet close to several metro lines allowing us to get just about anywhere pretty easily. She also recommended a car service that was excellent.
The place was clean and well stocked for simple food prep and reheating leftovers. It was great to be able to wash a load of laundry mid-stay. Laurie provided a table full of maps, brochures, and tour guides in the hallway, and she sent a 16-page PDF guide to the neighborhood in advance, with fun illustrations from her family and past guests.
For picky sleepers like me, I'll mention that the beds are topped with comfy but heat-retaining memory foam, and the king bed readily transmits movement. Otherwise the linens and accommodations were very comfortable.
It was colder than we had hoped during our stay in the first week of April, but we enjoyed Laurie's lovely gardens through the windows, and would have loved sitting outside in warmer weather. Overall, we can highly recommend Laurie's apartment!
