Laura was a lovely host and her space was as expected. She was accommodating for both check in and check out.
Location is perfect for getting around (3 blocks from subway!). Her place is nice but could use some additional care. Mattress was quite firm, towels were pretty threadbare and the soap in the bathroom needed replacing (some water was added to it on our second or so day to salvage the rest when it should have just been changed). It was great value for the price and location, which in a city like NYC is arguably the most important part.
