We felt welcome from the moment we stepped inside the door. His home was ours for the 5 days we were in New York. Laurence was a charming, cordial, easy going host. He made sure we were familiar with the area including a guided tour of the Park and Botanical Gardens. We were entertained by musical interludes and stories from around the world. Our room was large, comfortable and everything we needed. This was our first Airbnb experience and was so delightful that we will back in the next few weeks. Thanks Laurence for your hospitality, good humour and great company.
