Laura is a fantastic host. She wasn't home but her communication was fantastic and very speedy and she definitely checked in on us several times to make sure we got in okay and everything was alright. Her roommates were friendly. We didn't see them that much but they chatted and offered assistance with anything we needed. I appreciated Laura's flexibility in check in times and also her check out times as we we had a very late Saturday night and she was nice enough to let us check out past the time listed. There is a SUPER awesome and friendly cat called Jermaine that lives here and he made the stay double the fun. He was just great to play with and hold and definitely a highlight. The bed is comfortable, the bedroom is a nice size- plenty of space to put luggage down. She has a cool rooftop door leading from her bedroom which we used. Her place is EXTREMELY close to the metro station Bedford-norstrand. The place was very easy to find. I really enjoyed staying here and walking through the neighborhood. I wish I had more time.
