Laura was a wonderful host! She stayed up late waiting for me when I flew in with a red eye, and showed me around her home the next day. She was very responsive over text and made me feel very comfortable. She also knows a lot about the area, and is fun to chat with.
However, on the eve of my departure, I had a horrible incident. One day I made a mistake by starting the drier at 1am in the morning. The next day, I set up my clothes in the washer and went out to dinner with intentions to dry them later. Although I asked the other residents for permission, she refused to let me use her dryer at 10pm when I got back - mind you, I was leaving the next day and needed to dry my clothes before leaving at 8am the next day. I realize that it was selfish of me to have done some of these things, and I was wrong. I apologized to her severally, but she called me "opportunistic", told me that I "lacked common sense", and embarrassed me in front of a friend that had come to take my suitcases away. She said to me "send her away ASAP" in a very rude tone, which ruined my departure.
Aside that, I absolutely loved living at her place - it's conveniently close to many bus stops and convenience stores, and she creates a warm homely environment.
