My second stay at Laurie's proved to be like the first -- Laurie's warm welcome and both her enthusiasm for and her knowledge of the city made our one-week stay memorable! The house is charming and comfortable, filled with artwork and books. We enjoyed Laurie's fabulous coffee and tasty breakfast foods, and were able to walk to nearby restaurants. Getting to the subway was an easy walk, and a short ride into Manhattan. Each day was spent exploring a different area of Manhattan or Brooklyn -- several days we dined back on 5th or 7th Avenues, after a glass of wine at Laurie's. And this time, Laurie had WiFi. All in all, a fun trip!
