We had a great time in New York and staying at Laura's place. She was lovely, accommodating earlier arrival times and later check-out, helped with orientating, pointing out things to see and had 'starter food' in the fridge for us. There were maps, books and brochures in the room for us to read which was helpful during the first days. Particularly the book about Harlem's history was great to delve into. The proximity to the Metro and buses, as well as a cafe, music venue, restaurants and delis right around the corner, made this into such an easy and enjoyable stay.
Thank you!
