We stumbled across Lauren's place last minute for a first time trip to NYC at Christmas. Lauren responded to questions within only a few minutes and even accommodated a later check out time to correspond with our later flight. Lauren's place is an amazing location, only a few blocks from the metro, a few blocks from Central Park, and just out of the tourist areas so you can find great local restaurants bars and stores for everything you need during your stay. The apartment is so cute and cozy, perfect home away from home while in New York. The bed is incredibly comfortable which makes a huge difference when you've walked miles all day in NYC. Highly recommend staying at Lauren's place, we will be back!
