Brian's place was better than the pictures can depict. It's a very spacious apartment in the center of an incredibly hip part of Brooklyn. Great restaurants, bars, and walking all around. Although there are busses just next to his place, be prepared to walk 10-15 minutes to any subway station. Brian was responsive and kind, and his guestbook made the stay in Brooklyn 'foolproof' to find the best restaurants, cafes, grocery stores, etc. Highly recommend!
