I booked this pretty place for four nights and ended up staying five. I really enjoyed myself there and felt very comfortable. Laurie was very accommodating while my plans kept changing--first there were two of us coming, then just one, then whoops, two for a while, just one for the rest, etc. The house looks exactly as depicted--pretty, full of light, full of color, and full of interesting things collected with an artist's eye. I really enjoyed the illustrations from famous children's book authors, including Laurie's own father. The bed was very comfortable, the water pressure great, everything clean and nicely thought out. Laurie is very interesting and I really enjoyed my conversations with her. Oh and the house is just a few blocks to the subways that go into Manhattan quickly and easily. There is also lots to explore in the pretty neighborhood (good food too, which Chavi and Laurie can point you toward). I ended up sleeping the extra night in the downstairs garden apartment--also very comfortable and inviting. I was ready to move in. I would definitely go back to Laurie's house. I felt like a happy houseguest staying with interesting friends.
