We enjoyed our stay at Cristiano's place. He's a hands-off host, yet available and flexible. As for the apartment, it's quiet, stylish, and spacious. The kitchen and bathroom were recently renovated and the rest of the apartment has a classic NYC brownstone charm that's hard to come by. I'm still dreaming about those shuttered and stained glass windows in the ENORMOUS bedroom. The neighborhood is one of my favorite in Brooklyn and a quick walk to the A/C train on Nostrand. All in all, definitely recommend.
