Count-Sebastian is a great guy and was very accommodating since the very first day we got to his place. The location is 2 blocks away from the subway so getting around Brooklyn and the rest of the NY area is simple and the neighborhood is quiet and safe, although people not used to the environment may not feel at ease at first but we never had any inconvenience or experienced anything out of the ordinary. The place is cozy and the room is big. Note, if you're expecting a Suite at the Ritz, this is not the place for you but if you want a place to crash and a great host, this is it.
