Laura is an amazing host, very friendly and forthcoming! However, the "guest quarters" are in their basement and sadly, you can hear every little thing that is going on upstairs, mostly the dogs running around. That being said, the basement is sort of disconnected from the rest of the house, so you and the guests of the other room have something between a room of your own and a flat of your own in this deal. There was no hot water in the shower in the morning.
