My girlfriend and I stayed in Lara's apartment for our NYC vacation week and everything worked perfectly. Lara was very helpful and a great hostess. When we arrived she met with us, explained the basic things and made sure we had everything we needed. We would definitely stay there again.
The location is great with breakfast places, restaurants, bars and shops nearby. Smorgasburg is right outside the building on Saturdays. The L train / Bedford Av is just minutes away.
