Benjamin is a wonderful, welcoming host and the apartment was perfect for us. Nothing was too much trouble and all our questions were answered within minutes. When our incoming flight was massively delayed, Benjamin left a superb bottle of wine for us.
The kitchen is very well equipped and there are plenty of shops nearby to pick up breakfast things. We took the Subway, a 5 minute walk, to Manhattan most days. We found it convenient. There's a lot to explore in Brooklyn too and Benjamin gave us lots of suggestions. We loved the Dumbo area near Brooklyn Bridge, very hipster.
I would certainly recommend Benjamin's apartment to you, it was perfect for us.
