The room was as described, in a quiet neighborhood that was very accessible to public transportation. I had no issues traveling to and from my conference everyday. I didn't interact with Laura much, which was great because I had more privacy. My only issue was that there was no wifi internet connection at any point during my stay, which was particularly problematic for me since I was looking forward to getting work done in the evenings after my conference. If internet service is a sticking point for you, you may want to contact her before booking the room to make sure that the internet works. Otherwise, I would stay there again. Great host. Thanks, Laura!
