Laurie is an awesome host - she welcomed us personally and gave us a welcome gift as well. Her place is exactly as pictured and it just felt like home immediately. She was also very friendly and went the extra mile to provide us a laundramat prepaid card as well as a cart for shopping. She was also helpful in providing us an alternative for the airport run to Neward which was cheaper. Location wise, it was accessible to food and trains. Overall, I would stay again at Laurie's when I'm in NYC again.
