Laura's home is very comfortable, full of stylish art from all over the world. Laura herself is a delight, and she added lots of touches to make me feel welcome: towels and soap ready for me, various snacks and coffee in the kitchen that I was welcome to use, and most of all, a good attitude. I arrived with a friend and her toddler, who promptly broke a small decorative object, and Laura was very understanding. Laura also has let me stay late on my last day, since my flight isn't until 2 am, which is very generous. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and gracious host.

The neighborhood is decent, mostly residential. I was staying here because my friend lives nearby but didn't have space. There's a nearby grocery, bank, Walgreen's pharmacy, and good coffee place, so all your basics are easy to take care of within walking distance. Also some great nearby Ethiopian food at Chef Cafe.

This was my first Airbnb experience, and it was good enough that I'm excited to meet more wonderful hosts in my travels! Thank you, Laura!
