Laurie's place is terrific. The space is clean, comfortable, and welcoming with lots of thoughtful touches (Dove chocolates, water and creamer in the refrigerator, surprisingly good coffee). The bed was quite comfortable and having a separate sitting room with several comfortable chairs was an added plus. The location, near my son at Macalester and also less than a mile from the Mississippi River, worked beautifully for me. Most of all, Laurie was a great communicator - easy to reach, quick to respond, friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this spot!
