Laurie's garden patio apartment was our home away from home on our visit to New York. She thoughtfully provides all one needs for a morning before going out to tour the city. The coffee, bagels, cream cheese, yogurts and orange juice hit all the right spots for us to begin the day. Laurie sends along a guide of her own with suggestions for local eateries, events, tips and recommendations. We were able to get a feel of the neighborhood before we even arrived. We enjoyed the proximity to Prospect Park and the overall helpfulness that Laurie provides. You will get all that is described and more when you stay here!
