Laurie was an absolutely charming and gracious host. We had the whole upstairs area - bedroom, tv and office area (with an additional futon that can be turned into a bed), breakfast area with a Kureg coffee maker and a nice size refrigerator with creamers and cold water bottles for our consumption. The bathroom was quite large and Laurie had stocked it up with towels, shampoo, etc. The neighborhood was really nice - her home is right across from University of St. Thomas. Seeing college students walking around just added to the ambiance. Laurie lent us a "visitor parking permit" so we can park anywhere on the street. There was plenty off street parking right in front of her home. Grand Avenue with plenty of restaurants was right down the street and so was the Snelling & Selby intersection with coffee shops and restaurants. We highly recommend Laurie's place to anyone looking for a comfortable stay for a reasonable price. We traveled as a couple but there is ample room for a third person. We will be back!
