You cannot find a better location for visiting Brooklyn and NYC! Laurie's home is authentic Brooklyn, close to subways, awesome food, Prospect Park, friendly Brookklynites, all that is good about NYC! Yet - the neighborhood is quiet and mellow. Laurie is welcoming, informative and very accomodating. The delicious espresso, bagels and cream cheese in the morning -- just the icing on the cake! Please note, as Laurie states in her post, the bedrooms are on the 3rd floor, so be prepared for the climb up the classic staircase. It's a great way to assuage guilt after all the rich food you are going to enjoy!
