I had booked the garden apartment as well as the 2 rooms upstairs for my family plus myself & fiancée for our August 2012 wedding in DUMBO, Brooklyn. This was such a great option for all of us to stay together (8 people in total; ages ranging from 22 to 83). Laurie was a great host, who assisted with lots of advice of the local area. She also provided a great breakfast every morning. My mom is already planning to stay with Laurie again on one of her future trips to NY.
