The Laurel is a cozy warmly decorated nest with all you need for a delightful stay in Portland. The furnishings are comfortable - the bed is great! Small efficient kitchenette with all we needed to explore great Portland eateries and use up leftovers for breakfast and lunch. Conveniently located for walking adventures in the NE and SE, near a beautiful park, churches and restaurants and easy access to 84, 205 and the city. Dan and Jackie are very responsive with questions or any issues. Parking was not a problem at all - there was plenty of street parking available no matter when we looked. The electric fireplace was such a great touch when the weather turned cool during our stay!
