The experience at Laurie's home felt more like staying with an old friend than being a guest in her home. She was generous with her time, conversation, recommendations, graciousness, inclusiveness and sharing. Her home is beautiful, quiet and comfortable in a safe, upscale neighborhood close to everything in central Dallas. The room was tastefully decorated with plenty of light, antiques and handmade quilts. The bathroom was equally beautiful with original period tile-work and light. Because of her experience as a host, she was able to coordinate three different people from different countries and continents (none living in Dallas), who shared an unbelievable past common connection to get linked together during their brief time in the area. I definitely look forward to staying there again!
