From beginning to end Steve was a great host, always available to us on our trip if we had any questions or needs. He was also knowledgeable about local restaurants and transportation. There are some excellent restaurants within walking distance too. His home is cozy and clean with fresh linens, soap and shampoo and use of the kitchen. Transportation was convenient. We used the MTA ferry to get from Red Hook to Wall Street every morning and a number of subways over to Brooklyn where we could catch a bus that dropped us off very close to the front door. All in all a very reasonable price for what we required, lots of exploration and fun in the city.
