With no car and not wanting to rely on Uber too heavily, I wanted to stay where I'd be able to walk to most places I wanted to go, and Lawrence was great for that. The apartment was the perfect size for me (a solo traveler), and I had all the kitchen items I needed to cook for myself all week (the Trader Joes two blocks down helped!). I did struggle with the noise, especially during my first couple of nights--the apartment is between a busy intersection and a loud hallway (I could hear every time someone moved around it). Lawrence provides a fan/white noise maker for this, but I found ear plugs and a sleep music app on my phone the most helpful. The bed has a very soft mattress, which I struggled with (I'm used to something much firmer). But other than that, I had a really lovely stay! Lawrence was very responsive to all communication, and the check-in and check-out processes were easy and contact-free.
