We had a wonderful stay at Laurie's beautiful home in Park Slope, Brooklyn. The beds were very comfortable and we were able to have a washroom and washer/dryer right next door to our room which was very convenient. We would recommend bringing small luggage as the room was on the top floor of a 3 story walkup and the stairwells/hallways are very narrow, navigating that was a bit of a challenge, but that is minor. The subway station was quite close, and it was an easy commute into Manhattan, getting to the upper parts of Manhattan took awhile, but its nice to sit and relax on the air conditioned train after a long, hot day of sightseeing. Laurie was super friendly and helpful, and had many suggestions for things to do and places to see during our stay, it was really nice to have the advice from a local who knows her city! Our only complaint would be having to watch out for the escape artist kitty every time we came back to or left the house, there are two sets of doors at the entrance, but the space between them is very small, and we had to enter and shut the doors one at a time, while trying to keep the kitty away. It was very frustrating and time consuming, and if someone else left the inner door open, it was very hard to keep him from escaping, he got out twice during our visit :(

All in all, it was a very pleasant visit, thanks again for your hospitality Laurie!
