My sister and I stayed at Laurie's place for a week, and we had a very good time there. The house is beautiful and welcoming (and so is the lovely garden/ backyard). We stayed in the room with the two twin beds and we shared a bathroom with another guest, which worked out very well.
Laurie was a very welcoming and helpful host who provided us with lots of insider tips, maps, vouchers, and just very useful information on what to do, where to go, and how to save money on Broadway tickets, etc.
Not only were we delighted by the house and our host, we can also recommend this place because of its great location. Park Slope is a very lively neighborhood with a variety of restaurants, bars, cafés, small shops, trees and beautiful houses. Last but not least, this place can be easily reached by subway and we never felt unsafe walking home ("away from home").
