Tom and Nic's place was great. My girlfriend and I were visiting from the west coast so we appreciated being able to sleep in without too much light coming into the apt. The sound system was fun to play with and the heater kept the open space at just the right temperature while we were in it. The location is convenient if you're looking for a mellow place to stay off the beaten path. If your only plan is to visit there and back from manhattan, I would encourage you to take a walk around the neighborhood. You'll find little gems like Archie's Pizza, Brooklyn Public House and Mixtape (just to name a few) all around you. Overall, we had a pleasant stay and appreciate Dan and Nic for hosting a true Brooklyn experience for those not looking to feel like tourists.
