Laurie is a very friendly hostess to a happy home with a beautiful, large garden. The house is in a very residential, quiet neighborhood with a beautiful trail and a park (there may be more, but I only got to stay one night and didn't have much time to explore.) The low ceiling and lack of windows in the bedroom was a bit disappointing to me because it was such a gorgeous day out at the end of the summer. Plus, the space is right underneath where Laurie and her family lives, so footsteps, the sound of running water, etc. are very immediate. However, the living room is spacious, amenities (good coffee! Thank you for the chocolate, too:)) were really appreciated, and overall a very nice Airbnb experience!
