We had an excellent stay at the beautiful house of Gary. The room was very comfortable for all aspects: great atmosphere, beautiful decorated, nice bed and bathroom (with very thick towels), very private, stunning garden and very comfortable in Brooklyn. Restaurants and bars around the corner, subway a few minutes walk, great neighbourhood, prospect park for the necessary exercise two blocks away and a nice walk in a very "hip" surrounding.
Gary is most welcoming. He was waiting for us to arrive, sitting on the stairs of his house. After the introduction to the house and all the amenities we were invited to ask every question we had but we also were left to our privacy.
Next time we are staying in New York we'll be sure to check the availability of Gary 's place. Don't be surprised to find the place occupied for the coming months because this really is a gem.
