We had a great stay at Laura’s apartment and she was a very nice host, easy to communicate with. The apartment is very quiet and as per the photos and description and allows a confortable stay in Brooklyn. The neighborhood is very nice with a great bike rental at the corner, laundry place and few delis. Very cosmopolitan feel with Chinese and Mexican communities. A great NY experience. The walk to the subway is 15 minutes and one gets to Manhattan easily (change at 36th street to catch the Express N train, much faster than staying on the R). Overall a very nice experience, thanks Laura
