Laurie was a wealth of information and offered many great tips about Brooklyn and New York. My daughter and I enjoyed staying in her cosy home, and walking the neighborhood. By the time we left, we felt like locals using the subway and enjoying all that the city has to offer. We'd definitely recommend a stay at Laurie's in Brooklyn, as both a way to stretch your travel dollar and also as having a fabulous location to explore.

Being in Brooklyn didn't prevent us from attending theatre in New York, going to museums or visiting Central Park.
