Laurie makes the guest feel welcome by providing an immaculate space, fresh cut flowers and delicious baked goods in addition to gluten free breakfast options on request. The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful. We loved the library, with wonderful and erudite options for all ages. This is a basement apartment, but we had no issues as I am only 5'3". Laurie was very thoughtful preparing the pull out bed for us and flexible with our late arrivals while we attended a wake after a death in the family. The delicious cotton sheets and NASA mattress foam pad made for a lovely replenishing sleep. Daisy Mae is an adorable dog who sometimes accesses the space, but I think she only enters part of the living area. This is important to keep in mind if you have allergies to dogs.
