As a host, Laurence really couldn't have made us feel more welcome. Our room was clean and comfortable. We loved his flat, the building and the neighbourhood. It was also a great place to return to after long days exploring other parts of the city and the apartment was just a couple of minutes walk away to a train straight to Manhattan. We were only sad that we couldn't stay longer. He was a great guy and we had a lot of fun staying with him and swapping stories. We would definitely recommend staying at his place and also exploring the surrounding neighbourhoods in Brooklyn, which Laurence was kind enough to walk us round and give us a tour. He also had all the local tips and recommendations, helped us out with travel info and as an added bonus plays the piano beautifully :)
If Laurence comes over to Scotland we'd love to return the hospitality and show him around.
