My experience was so amazing on every level. Laura is a lovely and congenial host. She stays super busy with her job at the UN, so we rarely encountered one another, when we did she was always warm and courteous. The condo is located in a beautiful high-rise building located on the UES. The room was clean and the bed nice and firm. Your own private bath is just outside the bedroom door. There was a well appointed kitchen, however, I opted to get my coffee directly across the street at Starbucks. There is also a Key Market for groceries, and every type of restaurant imaginable all within walking distance. Of course, the subway is just steps away, so you can go anywhere in the city in just minutes. If you are looking for a unique and upscale experience while visiting NYC, I highly recommend staying at Laura's.
