Laurie is a true Brooklynite and was very helpful with suggestions about where to eat, what to do, and the way locals handle street parking. Her place is charming and is located in the best neighborhood of Brooklyn IMHO. It was a great launching pad for my various adventures around the city (it’s a short walk to the 4th Ave subway station). Laurie makes available a tasty spread of breakfast foods, coffee, tea, etc. to get get your day started. It was nice to come back to my clean room with cold AC during an intense June heat wave. I definitely recommend this place if you are visiting BK!
