This was an extension of an earlier stay and I was at Laurie's home for close to 3 months total. Details of the room and the home are in an earlier review but in essence, Laurie is a gracious and responsive host. The room is very comfortable, in a great location for SMU, with very short drive to uptown or downtown areas. I recommend Laurie's place for anyone needing accommodation for 1-2 persons and good access to the aforementioned areas.
