My partner and I stayed one night at Richard's place, and it was such a relaxing, easy and comfortable experience. The apartment itself is large (for NYC), very clean, very quiet, and is appointed with all you'd need for a short stay (large table to eat at or work, comfy couch, comfy bed, kitchen stuff). We appreciated the simple check in (and he accepted our request to come early, which was a lifesaver) and both had an incredibly restful night's sleep (since it's a ground floor apt it's pretty dark). Additionally, the apartment is on a sweet local Brooklyn block that's a stone's throw from wonderful Prospect Park.
If you are looking for a fancy place or neighborhood with nightlife, this isn't for you. If you are looking for a pretty inexpensive but clean and comfy spot in a lovely Brooklyn neighborhood, this is for you!
