Laurie is an easygoing person. Since you arrive Laurie´s apartment she gives you all kind of tips about NY and about places to visit. Her help to get use to NY has been great. She loves kids so if you travel with kids don´t hesitate... this is your apartment. The area where Laurie´s apartment is is so peaceful and very handy to Prospect Park and many shops.
The apartment is also awesome. We have felt like home... the garden, the kitchen, the bedroom...
About the subway Laurie´s apartment is only one five minutes walking to F, R and G trains. It takes you about 20 minutes to visit one of the most beautiful views of NY from the Brooklyn Bridge Park (must do).
