Larry proved to be a very good host!
Always willing to help out. He even checks (by sms or phone) every day to be sure that everything is okay.
Getting tickets for a Yankee-game: no problem, Larry goes on the internet and sorts it all out for you while you are down-town.
Taxi to JFK, if you ask about it, Larry already makes the call/reservation for you. Do you want your boarding-passes printed out before leaving: Larry does that, a.s.o.!
Next to that, the house is beautiful and very spacious. He tries to keep it up as much as possible in the way it was made/built and did a good job on that. Therefore it was to us a very vivid and warm house; you felt the love it deserved. The paintings made by his mum were more then just beginners work and told a story by themselves. But Larry could also add some history to them.
The sofa, very fine to sit on, but meant to host the 5th persons + to sleep on, needs a better mattress. Larry himself agreed on that, so I think he will take care of that shortly. We missed a proper teapot, but next to that the house was very well equipped, clean and in a Harlem neighborhood that is quit different than perhaps expected. In a good way!
The distance to the down-town area is a little far + that there are 2 subway stations 155rd ST, is the first time very confusing/caused a big delay, but don't weigh up to the friendly and charming Larry.
So if you don't mind 10-15 min. extra subwaytime Larries house is a fine and special one to stay in. We liked it a lot!
