We stayed for 9 days at Laurie's beautiful and comfy place with our two kids.It was a wonderful time. Laurie was very welcoming and made us really feel at home. She gave us a lot of information for our discovery of NY and her son Peter even babysat our two children one night so that we could go to the Opera. Going back to her appartment in Brooklyn after a long day out, gave us the impression to get back home. This was very important for us, but especially for our kids who could play and relax.
We already booked the appartment for October 2013, when we will be back in NY !
