Laurel’s place really is as pretty as what you see in the pictures. The experience itself is another kind of charm. :) She has really put a lot of thought into every detail that goes with the room - for a guest’s convenience. I notice even the smallest (yet very useful things) like the coasters on the bedside tables, makeup remover by the sink, local guides and a list of nearby restaurants categorized from expensive to more affordable... My husband and I appreciate the thoughtfulness. The room is also very stylish yet homey. It is evident that she put her heart into the interiors and in preparing everything for arriving guests. After the long days we spent touring and attending family events, it was so comforting coming “home” to Laurel’s place. She also has a lovely garden and we like the quiet neighborhood. The locals we have interacted with were all very polite too and pleasant. Oh and we tried some of the local spots Laurel recommended! Loved ‘em! So do check that binder filled with tips from Laurel - if you are staying at her place. :)
PS: The neighborhood is a quiet one and there are hardly any street lights, so if you arrive late in the evening, make sure you follow Laurel’s instructions in finding the place. You shouldn’t miss it, she is very detailed when it comes to directions. :)
