My 2 months and a half stay at Alex & Aleks' place was amazing! I believe they are the loveliest hosts in Brooklyn: very sensitive, open-minded, and funny as well! They give small attentions that prove how much they care about their guests - including sometimes a delicious breakfast in bed, and delicious dinners cooked by Aleks ;)
The flat is awesome. It's brand new, very clean, and modern! It also is very charming thanks to the high ceilings, and the daylight provided by the big windows. The flat is fully equipped from the kitchen to the washing machine, which makes it very comfortable.
The room is perfect: it's a big room, with a huge TV, a desk to work and an amazingly comfortable bed! I really slept like a baby there. The room is very calm with a view on a backyard where a cat wanders sometimes.
The neighbourhood is exquisite with plenty of small bars, good restaurants, and even an original Japonese coffee shop! It's only a 20 mn ride to Manhattan on the L train.
I strongly recommend Alex and Aleks' place for your stay in New york.
