My wife and me had a great time at Clay's place. He picked us up on our way from the Subway and shared a bottle wine as welcome. The house very special with gym, home-cinema-room and a phantastic roof-topic-area that invites for having breakfast or drink in the evening, enjoying the skyline from Manhattan in an distance.
The place is luxury, we had comfortable bedroom with private bathroom and closet. It would be ideal if you could lock the door. We didn't had any trouble as the other two guys in the apartment were very nice.
From Troutman Street it is about 10 min walking distance two Subway and half hour to Manhattan. There are a lot of trendy (and good!) restaurants and bars around. Clay knows a lot of good places in Brooklyn and helps with everything if you ask.
