I Like to stay here it was very comfortable and I feel like I am in home. Laurie is really professional and well spoken she listen and helps immediately. I really enjoyed to stay here and I would recommend others to must stay here. Its near to the subway and Deil is also very close to the front gate.

We had a really good time at Laurie's. We spent 5 nights there and she and her roommate welcomed us warmly. They gave us tips and were always making sure we had a comfortable stay.
The place was very clean and tidy, and the two tiny cats were really cute!January 2023

You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile.
