We stayed for 8 days and loved it. Laurie was very responsive to all our inquiries and even provided treats for our dog and yummy muffins for us. The neighborhood is great and we enjoyed walking our dog throughout. The hills are very steep if you're not used to that but worth it to see all the beautiful gardens. It's an easy walk to Volunteer Park or down to the docks and a quick drive to either Capitol Hill or the University. Even though it is a basement space the lighting is great so it feels bright and cheery. We would definitely stay here again.
