We had a great stay at Laurie's place - it was perfect for all our needs. Park Slope is a great neighborhood, nice and quiet too, and Laurie's house is close to 3 very convenient subway lines. Laurie was very helpful in telling us where the best local places are for pizza, bagels etc. Not that we ever actually went out for bagels in the end - Laurie had the most amazing bagels, cream cheese and orange juice I have ever tasted!!
