Alan's place is comfortable, homey, has all the amenities and in a great Brooklyn location - a friendly upscale neighborhood and a 20 min subway ride to Manhattan. Alan was warm, friendly and very accommodating for any request or need I had - the family lives upstairs so they were available to help with anything. I stayed there during Halloween and chose this listing because I hoped the house would be decorated as it's a family home. The house turned out to be the most decorated one on the block :) it was beyond what I expected, and it was great fun and I was even invited to help hand out candy. I highly recommend this place!
