It certainly was lovely to stay in Laurie's house. Staying in Brooklin was no disadvantage at all, quite quickly to Manhattan by subway and having the oppotunity to see sites in Brookling we would not have seen otherwise. Laurie is a wonderful hostess, very helpful, interested in art and very educated too.
Nearby are a few really nice restaurants, which we eventually preferred to places in Manhattan, cheaper and good quality.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
