You would have to be crazy not to stay with Laurie! Five stars is not enough. My fiancée and I had a fantastic time in New York thanks to Laurie. We hadn't done any prior planning when we arrived and she helped us with our itinerary, gave us tips for restaurants and experiences and showed us the REAL soul of New York. When attending a recommended, very special intimate jazz performance in Harlem the person next to us commented it was amazing to see us there because most locals don't even know about it! That is exactly the kind of experience you will get staying with Laurie!
Her home is very clean and comfortable and we felt very welcome there. At the same time you were given plenty of space and freedom to do as you please. Breakfast is indulgently catered. Location is unbeatable and we had NO problems getting back home and felt safe even late at night. Laurie is a generous host and we would love to stay with her again!
