I stayed with Lara for a month while I was packing to move abroad. It was a nice oasis to have space in her warm home. Lara and her family were always warm and welcoming to invite me to cookouts or dinner, or leaving fresh tomatoes from the garden. I love the way the space is decorated and the history of the home. She thinks of sweet little touches from lighting everywhere at night with soft lights (it can be hard to navigate a new space in the dark otherwise!), the space was cleaned all the time, and she even cleared out space for me in her pantry for my longer stay. The house is big and spacious, so it felt like everyone had their own nook. I LOVED being able to walk everywhere for dinner, groceries, and coffee. Parking wasn't an issue, and the neighborhood was great. It was a great mix of alone time to cook or take a bath, while also getting to chat with her and her family over dinner or walking by. I loved the familiarity of Mac the cat! It was a lovely stay!
