Lawrence’s place was perfect for our 5 day trip to New York. It’s in a really cool area that is walkable to some cool spots in Brooklyn. The basement apartment was perfectly well equipped. Lawrence provided some extra bed sheets for the sofa bed so we could spread out. He was extremely responsive, proactive, kind, and gave us local recommendations. No complaints at all - thanks Lawrence!

Alles was zoals beschreven en zelfs nog beter. Bij Lawrence als host hadden we onmiddellijk een goed gevoel en dit bleek niet onterecht. Hij was zo zorgzaam voor ons. Hij bood ons zelfs spontaan paraplu's toen we een regendag tegemoet gingen. Alles wat je nodig hebt is aanwezig, zelfs koffie en filterzakjes. De locatie heeft geen ramen maar dat was in de advertentie ook zo aangegeven. Dit stoorde ons totaal niet. Er was ook overal airco. Wat voor ons, gezien de matige temperaturen, nu niet nodig bleek. Het kleine tuintje is heel gezellig om op een zomeravond nog een glaasje te drinken. Wij vonden Lawrence een tophost! Heel begripvol, bereikbaar en altijd klaar om te helpen. Dit was ons eerste keer in een airbnb maar ik vermoed dat we het beste eerst gehad hebben. Alleen de afstand naar Manhattan hadden we toch wat korter ingeschat. Toch 15min stappen naar metro. Zonder twijfel is deze airbnb een aanrader.

Lawrence is very attentive and proactive with communication. My party and I felt taken care of and welcomed. The place itself is a spacious and the beds are very comfortable. It is also near metro stations and you can get to downtown or manhattan in 20 minutes. Just a few minutes walk to Walgreens, Laundromats and multiple dining options. If anything, It may use just a bit more ventilation, but other than everything is great. I'd definitely seek it again when visiting NY.

Sehr schönes Apartment und tolle Lage in Brooklyn. Verschiedene U-Bahn Linien und City-Bikes waren schnell zu Fuß erreichbar. Lärm von den Straßen haben wir nicht gehört. Die Küche war super ausgestattet und wir durften uns bei Lebensmitteln bedienen. Als Geschenk war sogar eine Weinflasche für uns im Kühlschrank hinterlegt 😍 Die Wohnung sowie die Betten und das Bad waren super und gepflegt und super für uns vier Personen. Eine fünfte Person hätte noch auf dem Sofa schlafen können. Da wir den ganzen Tag unterwegs waren, hat es uns nicht gestört, dass Gast kein Fenster in der Wohnung ist.

Very quiet, easy walk to subway and local coffee shops and restaurants. Great communication with Lawrence and check in was very easy. We were out and about most of the time but it was nice to come back to a quiet place to sleep.

That was my first time visiting NYC so I wasn't quite sure what to expect but I enjoyed my stay here. I imagine that you could stay anywhere in the city and have similar experiences with how walkable the city is. Lawrence was very accommodating and helpful during my stay with two other guests. This place was a basement unit but that shouldn't be a problem if you are outside most of the time. Check-in and check-out was extremely smooth. The only concern would be noise coming from the upper unit but other than that no complaints.

Lawrence was a great host! He was very proactive with the communication and great at communicating overall. Checking in was a breeze and the place was as pictured. Great location to be in Brooklyn and not too far from Manhattan. Great neighborhood and very friendly vibes. And the place was super clean which is always appreciated 👌 10/10 Would book with Lawrence again!

Lawerence was a great host, friendly and always available and responding quickly. Easy check in and out. Apartment is as described very spacious and loads of facilities. Great coffee maker. Easy access to L and J subways and to the JFK airport. Only issue was that at some times it was too too warm as mentioned by other reviews. Some of the pipes need to be insulated fully. Great holiday. Thanks Laurence for letting us stay.

Lawrence was a great host and the spot was perfect for our group that was in town over Halloween weekend! This basement apartment was cozy (not much natural light - but that made for excellent sleep! Otherwise, there were plenty of lights in the unit), it had everything we needed and was close to a number of restaurant options by foot or a quick bike ride or Uber trip. Definitely checkout Williamsburg Pizza on Union St for a late night slice, the bodega on 400 Lorimer (right around the corner) for awesome breakfast sandwiches as well as Have A Bagel on Havemeyer St to make your NYC bagel dreams come true 😋. Lawrence was a great communicator and was very accommodating to us, checking in often on day one to make sure we had everything we needed. That said - I’d book it again in a heartbeat!

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!).<br/>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.

Lawrence's place is a great option to visit NYC. We visited his place with our two baby girls (1,5 and 3,5 yo) and would definitely recommend this place to anyone traveling with children.<br/>- It's located in a good, relaxed spot in South Williamsburg. There's a short 7-min walk to the M/J Train (Lorimer St) or the G Train (Broadway). These stations don't have an elevator, but Marcy Av has(at around 15-min). We managed OK to climb up/down the stairs anyway. There are several supermarkets around and very convenient Delis to buy stuff for your stay. At a 15-min walk distance, you will be able to find the trendiest shops and restaurants in Williamsburg.<br/>- The place is very clean and has got everything you may need, and Lawrence has been very helpful to provide anything we missed. He also prepared several bottles of water in the fridge and welcomed us with a bottle of wine.<br/>- There are two bedrooms with queen-size beds, a bathroom and a small kitchen, and a dining area for breakfast and diners. As the apartment is a basement, there are only two small-sized windows, but that was not a problem since we spent most of the day out. The apartment was very hot but this was somehow comforting after a day out in the freezing December cold. <br/>- There's no washing machine but there's a laundromat around the corner that was quite cheap and fast, we left our clothes for washing and picked them up dry and folded.<br/>A very good option for a visit to NYC.

Lawrence was awesome again! This is my second time staying here and you can’t beat the location! Lawrence was a great host and left a bottle of wine for us. We didn’t spend a lot of time in the house (that’s how good the location is!), but when we did we had what we needed. <br/>The main thing to note is that the rooms are a little warm; the pipes radiate heat and you’ll kick off the blankets in the middle of the night. I didn’t have the patience to get the Google TV going, but I was able to cast from my phone. If watching a show is important to you, I’m sure you could ask Lawrence for help. Overall a great value and another great trip!

Nice spot and close to many of the places we wanted to visit. The apartment was clean and cute. It was also spacious so that we could spread out a bit. If you’re worried about the basement location being cold in the winter, fret not! The radiator heat kept it very toasty down there, we didn’t need any of our warm sleeping pjs or socks while in the house.

Lawrence is an amazing host.<br/>Super nice, accommodating, and helpful. Recommended a few places to eat and hang out. Tried a few of them and it’s all really good and worth the wait.<br/>His apartment is exactly as it is shown in the pictures. Super spacious, lovely layout, bathroom is nice and clean, and overall very comfortable. <br/>Apartment is about a 10 min walk from the M line which gets you to Manhattan in about 15-20 minutes. Pretty central area and plenty of local eateries nearby all within walking distance and a nice soccer park if you want to exercise or take a run.<br/>Would definitely stay here again. <br/>Hands down the best and nicest host you’ll ever meet.

Cet appartement est parfait pour profiter de NYC. A 10 minutes du métro pour rejoindre Manhattan et pas loin du centre animé de Williamsburg ou d'autres quartiers de Brooklyn. Il y a de nombreux commerces à 5 mn à pied mais la rue est tres calme. Il y a la clim et la literie est top. Tout ce qu'il faut dans la cuisine aussi. C'est un basement donc pas de lumière du jour à part dans le jardin mais cela ne nous a pas dérangé du tout. Lawrence est tres chaleureux et réactif si vous avez besoin de lui

Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour chez Lawrence. L’appartement est spacieux pour une famille de 4 personnes. La clim a été très appréciée par cette météo caniculaire ! Et l’appartement est d’une propreté irréprochable.<br/>Lawrence est un hôte comme nous n’en avons jamais eu lors de nos précédentes locations : très réactif dans dans la communication, attentionné et de très bons conseils sur place. Je ne peux que recommander cette location ! <br/>(Si vous avez l’occasion d’aller manger dans le restaurant qu’il vient d’ouvrir, vous vous régalerez de délicieux plats italiens !)

Lawrence’s basement style apartment had a lot of space for my friends and I and we really enjoyed the neighborhood. Lots of great food, bars and shops close by and subway stations within a couple blocks. Lawrence was a great host and very responsive and also provided us with a list of places to check out around the neighborhood. Would definitely recommend his home and would stay there again!
