Local sites not working with Laravel homestead vagrant setup on ubuntu

Question

I'm having problems mapping a folder in my vagrant machine to a local laravel website. Instead of mapping laravel.test to code/laravel/public in the vagrant machine, it maps to localhost.

This is the Homestead.yaml

---
ip: "192.168.10.10"
memory: 2048
cpus: 2
provider: virtualbox

authorize: ~/.ssh/id_rsa_homestead.pub

keys:
    - ~/.ssh/id_rsa_homestead

folders:
    - map: ~/projects
      to: /home/vagrant/code

sites:
    - map: laravel.test
      to: /home/vagrant/code/laravel/public

databases:
    - homestead

features:
    - mariadb: false
    - ohmyzsh: false
    - webdriver: false

Here is etc/hosts:

127.0.0.1   localhost

# Local websites
127.0.0.1   laravel.test

# other stuff...

I know laravel.test is being mapped to /var/www/html/index.php because when I access laravel.test it prints phpinfo(), which is exactly what it prints in var/www/html/index.php. I guess what is happening is the folowng: laravel.testis mapped to localhost, which is mapped to /var/ww/html/index.php because I have Apache running on my physical machine. What I need is to map laravel.test to my vagrant machine.

Any help is appreciated.

Note: Vagrant version is 2.2.9 and ubuntu version is 18.04

UPDATE

When I access laravel.test:8000 it does work and I can access my laravel application. However, I'd like to know if there is a way to access the site without specifying the port 8000.

Using the ip address from the yaml in the hosts file instead of 127.0.0.1 would work. Same ip address may be used outside of the box while connecting to services such as mysql.

127.0.0.1   localhost

# Local websites
192.168.10.10 laravel.test

# other stuff...
