Our stay with Laurence exceeded all expectations. Not only is the apartment really comfortable, homely and full of interesting art and colour, our host was a self-deprecating, eloquent and erudite authority on all things Brooklyn, New York, music, history and the arts. Laurence was unstintingly generous with his time, knowledge and guidance. We spent a week in New York in total and Laurence made the trip for us. He is a gentle, gracious and accomplished host and we cannot recommend him highly enough.
