Laurie is a great host and her house is lovely. We have stayed in Manhattan for all our previous visits to New York, so it was a new and refreshing experience to hear birds singing when waking up in the mornings!

Park Slope is a really nice area and Laurie's house is just off 5th Ave which has plenty of nice places to eat and drink. It is close to 2 subway stops that give you easy access to other areas of Brooklyn, plus Manhattan and Queens. (About 20 minutes from Lower Manhattan).

The breakfast was good too - Laurie put on breads, croissants and jams, plus a coffee maker and made it clear that you are to make yourself at home.

The rate as extremely reasonable and allowed us to spend more time in New York than we could if we had stayed solely in Manhattan.

I would definitely stay here again and would recommend
