Laramie’s place is great. He has a unique sense of style and has traveled the world. I think that his travel experiences have given him a great sense of what travelers want to have. For example, the place is clean and safe: There are three keypad locks (plus the key lock to the room) between you and the street. There is also iron protecting the windows of the room, and the windows close and lock as well. It is great to be able to lock the bedroom so as to be able to store stuff there, etc.
Check in was easy and flawless because of the keypad locks and Laramie’s great communication.
The mattress was the most comfortable I have ever slept on and there is a well tuned piano in the room, which you can play up until 10 pm. What more could you ask for?
I have stayed at several Airbnb’s and this one was my favorite by far.
The neighborhood is safe and the people there are friendly. There is a cheap (but good!) Chinese take out place very close to his place. To get to Manhattan you take the J train and switch when you get there depending on where you are going. It’s only a few blocks from Laramie’s place to the Halsey St stop on the J train. However, there are stairs to get up to the platform. If you need an elevator to the platform because of luggage, you could take an Uber to the Flushing Avenue subway station and take the M to get to Manhattan. I did this on my way back, and it was cheap.
I would definitely stay At Laramie’s place again. I highly recommend it.
