Laura's home is beautiful! It was a perfect location and prefect place to stay! We felt welcome and at home the moment we stepped through the front door. Laura is very personable, easy to talk to, helpful, and accommodating. The house has a wonderful vintage feel and is very clean. Very comfortable bed(one of my concerns with staying in Airb&b's was if the bed would be comfortable), PERFECT softness for the pillows, amazing shower with side sprayers, extra blankets, easy front door code to check into the house, quiet at night, and super close (5 minute walk)to two subway stations, 30-40 minute subway ride into the city, but had a more residential feel than staying in busy/touristy Manhattan. Plus, it was MUCH more affordable!
The neighborhood is full of lovely, old homes from the late 1800's and feels safe and well kept. We didn't feel unsafe even when walking around late at night(two women). Plenty of places to grab a bite to eat. We really loved the breakfast at Madeline's restaurant on Courdelou Road near the subway station. We ate there almost every day during our stay!
Laura told me of a few streets of vintage homes a few blocks from her house and I went exploring. They were beyond fabulous! Old, large(some were mansions)beautiful homes, the likes of which I didn't expect to see in Brooklyn.
I would definitely recommend staying at Laura's home and hope that I get the opportunity to come back and stay in the future!
