Lawrence was a great host and very attentive. The flat is huge, stylish and had everything that we needed for our stay. The beds were comfortable and the shower was good. It was about a ten minute walk to the metro and about 20 minutes to Williamsburg’s famous Bedford Ave. There was a laundromat around the corner as well. Lawrence even left us a bottle of wine which was very kind (and appreciated!).
The only downside of the flat, which others have mentioned, was the pipes in the bedrooms which made it very warm and also made noises in the night. I would suggest ear plugs and summer pyjamas and then it would be fine. It wasn’t Lawrence’s fault in any way, just the nature of a basement flat. He had an air conditioner in the main bedroom which helped a lot.
