We really enjoyed staying at John's place. It was incredibly spacious and a short walk to the subway station.
The apartment was clean and the kitchen was well stocked with utensils. We really appreciated things like washing up liquid, kitchen roll and toilet roll being provided. It's always a godsend not to have to go out to buy essentials as soon as you arrive.
John was responsive and even purchased a hairdryer for us, as the apartment didn't already have one in - amazing host!
If you're a light sleeper - be aware that the heating is quite loud and there is a main road virtually next to the apartment. I'd recommend taking earplugs. I sometimes found it tricky to sleep through the night with the trucks going by on the freeway. (My friend slept fine but I'm an incredibly light sleeper).
Overall, we'd definitely return if we were staying in Brooklyn again. Thanks for having us John.
P.s we loved the squirrels!
