My 79-year-old parents recently stayed at Laurie's for a few weeks (with a break to go to DC for 3 nights, during which their luggage was graciously stored) and they loved the place. They were in New York to visit grandchildren in Park Slope, and the house is conveniently situated near bus and subway lines. It was very clean, homely and Laurie was most obliging and welcoming, providing anything they desired (Weetabix, bedside lamps, fruit salad!) upon request.
