Laurence is an excellent host - considerate, knowledgeable, thoughtful and a good communicator. He's easy-going and interesting. We felt that Laurence really wanted to make our time in Brooklyn as pleasant as possible. The location is fantastic, with good access to subways and the museum, library and park. Although the bathroom perhaps could do with a facelift and brighter lighting, it's great to have a private bathroom adjacent to the bedroom. We would be happy to return to Laurence's home and we recommend it to anyone wanting to visit this part of Brooklyn!
