Usually we stay in Manhattan when we visit New York, but wanted to give Brooklyn a try this time. We were so happy with Laura's place. It was very spacious and comfortable. The back yard was super cute with stung lights. The subway was very convenient, about a 5 minute walk, so getting to and from Manhattan was very easy. Also there is a great coffee shop (BK Coffee) located right next to the subway entrance. The neighborhood and building is very quiet and felt safe. Laura was very easy to work with and had everything we needed at the apartment plus she let us check in a few hours early. Overall one of our favorite trips to NYC and we can't wait to visit again.
