A great and cozy home. Looked better than the pictures - i will definitely be back. 5 min Uber ride to downtown where there are tons of restaurants/bars. It was very quiet inside even though it’s located near a larger street.

The place was decorated beautifully and it just had this homey, creative pure energy with it. The whole time during my stay, I just kept thinking this place has great energy! The directions for the hot tub were clear - everything was clean and organized and our host was super responsive and friendly. There was even a cool map on the fridge to tell us what’s fun to do around the Airbnb and where some good food was! Honestly great AIRBNB experience and we will come back anytime we need to stay in Wilmington 👍🏽

Laura's place was absolutely perfect! It was close to my race event at riverfront park and close to my favorite restaurant Indochine. Laura was very responsive and had her placed stocked with everything you could need. She even had the extra comforts you didnt realize you need, but appreciate having! She had dog toys set aside in a basket that my dog absolutely adored and she had a coffee station that i personally adored! The weather was not ideal for using the hot tub but it was nice to have the option. It will definitely get used when we stay at Laura's in the future.

Absolutely loved our stay! Laura’s place was peaceful, spotless, and featured one of the most comfortable beds we’ve ever slept on. Her local recommendations were perfect—especially Jesters Café (so delicious!). Laura was quick to communicate and even went the extra mile by sharing live music events happening nearby. We’ll definitely be back!

Charming home! Very cozy and my wife and I enjoyed the decorations. Very close to the river and downtown, and the hot tub worked great. Laura was very response to all questions we had.
