Laurie's place is great! The basement is cute and spacious, with a lot of light (in the spring, at least). Phinney is well-located, with easy access to a number of bus lines and all parts of the city. More importantly, Laurie was very kind and hospitable. She made sure that I was comfortable, addressed issues immediately, and offered tips for navigating the city. I highly recommend this place, as a former Seattleite, I loved it!
