I enjoyed my stay with Laura a lot! I stayed for about 5 weeks for work and I would totally recommend Laura's place for long-term stays. I cooked pretty frequently since Laura was nice enough to let me use her cookware. The neighborhood the house is in is alright but there are bus stop very close by so you can go to downtown or grocery stores quickly. I frequented Grocery Bargain Outlet since it was only a 5 min bus ride away. Other than that, I really enjoyed living with Laura. She's very welcoming and opens up her home to you as if it were yours.
