Laura has an amazing home in an incredible neighborhood setting I didn't even know existed in Brooklyn. The first night of my stay I was alone on the third floor and it was a nice treat to have total privacy. The room is large and has lots of counter space for spreading out your things. The bathroom is beautiful and upon my arrival was sparkling clean. My second night I had to share :) so it was less private and I was more aware of the 'shared bathroom' but still a great value!
Laura recommended a fantastic cafe just around the corner, right across from the Cortelyou Rd. subway station... it was perfect. I felt very welcomed into her home. She has a sweet dog, too.
