Laura's house has an amazing location, you can go to Time Square by subway in 15 minutes. The 135 station is just two streets up, the 125 just a few more streets down, it's an express station AND the M60 bus stop that takes you to La Guardia Airpot in about 30 minutes.
Harlem can be a little intimidating at first but we walk at many times of the day and felt completly safe. It's such a nice and interesting neighborhood.
The house has wood floors so you must be careful with your noise, most of all at late night or early in the morning.
We didn't see Laura much but when we did she was always kind and friendly.
The pictures of the room speaks from itself, it's big, pretty, has lots of light and it has a tub! The perfect place to start and end your days in NYC :)
