Lauren's place is ideal for any business or vacation plans for NYC. Home is conveniently located and just a block away from Grove station, from where you can reach either ETC or 33rd street. From here on, you can use the subways to roam within NYC. Lot of restaurants and grocery street just steps away from the place. Few of them provide halal food as well, which worked great for us. Lauren is so thoughtful that she had placed few umbrellas for guest use.
Even though it is mentioned clearly, guests should be aware that this is a basement accommodation and should be comfortable with that. We did not have any issues. Also it is a compact home and Lauren has utilized the available space to the best she could. Some things like microwave oven on top of the refrigerator is due to space constraint. You should be okay to adjust with that. Due to the space, IMO Lauren's place is ideal for 2 to 3 guests, including children.
