laurie's 140+ glowing reviews can't be wrong! she's got a gorgeous house with a fantastic setup in a perfect location. she's proud to call brooklyn home and is passionate about sharing the things she finds special about her city and her borough. listen to her recommendations; she knows what she's talking about!

garden/backyard space is virtually unheard of in new york and laurie's got a truly beautiful back patio and garden. take advantage of relaxing out there with your morning coffee if weather permits!

the downstairs apartment offers some really great perks that shouldn't be overlooked: guest-available washer/dryer, private entrance, direct access to the garden/patio area, a space that comfortably sleeps 4 (divided into two actual bedrooms) and a full eat-in kitchen. i highly doubt there's a better value to be had in all 5 boroughs.

park slope is an adorable neighborhood and a welcome respite from the over-stimulation of manhattan. being so close to so many great restaurants, markets, shops and the park should sell you on this place if nothing else has.

bottom line: if you're looking for an alternative to a standard vrbo-type place and want the opportunity to stay with someone who's as invested in you enjoying your trip as you are, laurie's what you're looking for!
