Timo's place is a great place to hang out in Brooklyn. Its in the heart of a lovely area with loads of restaurants and great shopping minutes away. The apartment is lovely with lots of character and Timo has made it to really reflect his personality. Be warned though that the flipside of being in the heart and having loads of character means that the apartment is noisy and the building and fixtures are old and temperamental. This should not put you off if you like that kind of thing, but if you are looking for a pristine and quiet place, then this one is not for you.
Timo is a fantastic host who is absent enough to give you loads of privacy but also around enough so there is another human being to talk with! He is an interesting person so we had lots of lovely conversations about travel which we both love. He was very communicative about check in, and lovely and accommodating with keeping my luggage and checkout times.
Highly recommended for those that want a funky and lively place to stay with a gracious host who excels at small thoughtful touches.
