Ben was a very good host. Everything was like described and the apartment is really very comfortable.

The bed is fantastic, there was wine and tea and coffee for us and he even provided a transformator to charge our (german) mobiles and gadgets.

He was a great help whenever we had any questions and made sure we felt welcome.

Ben allowed us to park our bicycles in his yard so we didn't have to fear that they would be stolen.
If there would be a cheaper possibility to rent bicycles in the area, it would be perfect.

To get to Manhattan it sometime takes a little longer because of the unreliability of the subway, but on the other hand it's quite near to Williamsburg (15 Min. by bike), where you get fantastic vegetarian food (by the way).
To Manhattan by bike it takes about 20 Min.

We enjoyed very much and definitely want to come back some time.
Thanks a lot Ben.
