Staying at Laurie's lovely home in Brooklyn was what the Air B and B experience is all about, at least for me. Easy and clear instructions upon arrival and a feeling of being a welcome guest in a lovely home in Park Slope Brooklyn. Laurie is a busy person but always available if needed to provide guests with advice and assistance. My room was pleasant and quiet and the bed extremely comfortable. The bathroom always had hot water and was shared by guests in the second room on the floor but that was never an issue for me. Laurie always made sure there was plenty of bagels, croissants, cereal, and of course the delicious coffee. Subway is five minutes walk. There's plenty to see and do in Brooklyn and the area is a pleasure to simply wander around. I recommend a visit to the vast Brooklyn Green Wood cemetery if you feel like a ramble in a quiet and beautiful space only twenty minutes walk from Laurie's house.
As if all this wasn't enough there is Laurie's pretty garden at the back with tables and chairs for guests to enjoy sitting out. I couldn't have asked for more as it was the perfect spot for me to do tai chi each morning.
If I am fortunate enough to return to New York I wouldn't think of staying anywhere else but with Laurie in her warm and welcoming book filled home.
