Host was welcoming and accommodating. Neighbourhood was fine, convenient for subway and a couple of good supermarkets. A few nearby restaurants and coffee shops were enough for us (we're in our 40s). I am a regular visitor to NYC and won't feel the need to stay in Manhattan again, I really liked the more relaxed vibe of Brooklyn. The only thing I can't believe none of the other feedback has mentioned is that the back of the building (including one of the two bedrooms) looks right out onto a six lane highway that runs with traffic 24X7 - so noise in that bedroom and on the roof deck was an issue for us.
