Laurence is a wonderful host. Friendly. Erudite. Knowledgable. Accommodating. He went out of his way to make me feel comfortable and at home in Brooklyn. Thanks for the advice and the hours we spent together touring the local haunts and meeting your wonderful friends. Made my stay in New York one I'll cherish.
Brooklyn is a great place with lovely parks nearby to walk in. Friendly bars and lots of coffee shops and cafes. The area felt safe and I never experienced any bad vibes at all. The local subways are very close and a breeze to navigate. An all round great first introduction to New York. I will be back.
