Boriss's apartment is very cozy and clean. His hospitality is outstanding. He is very responsive. He had some very thoughtful welcome remarks , that I found very surprising. Moreover there are some stuff in the fridge and cabinets (rice, spaghetti, oil and condiments) that I found pretty cool (there is one cabinet right above the sink that he didn't want to be touched, all instruction are on a paper sheet on the table next to the bed). I travelled to Brooklyn in winter , however the inside temperature was warm enough to feel comfortable. The apartment is 10 minutes walking to D train station that if you want to go to Manhattan. It is a great place either if you want to stay local or visit Manhattan (45 minutes on train to Penn station).
