Laurie is a great host. She is very helpful with useful tips and recommendations of local places. We felt at home at her place. Our room was very clean and nice. It was possible to have breakfast in Laurie's dining room. The location is great - very close to a subway station. The neighborhood is great as well - lot's of places to relax at after all the sightseeing. Laurie also let us leave our big suitcases at her place when we were leaving for a trip to different cities. I highly recommend Laurie's place.
