Ben was a fantastic host. He greeted us at the door as we pulled up to his home which was a great first impression. His home was lovely it was really nice having the kitchen right there and bedrooms were perfect. It was awesome having air conditioning in the home. I know that may sound like a little thing but a few people we met in Manhattan said they were using Airbnb and there places didn't have air conditioning and trust me in the summer that was a really pleasure to have. Ben really made us feel at home. I definitely recommend his home for anyone looking to explore New York. It was so close to the subway and several great restaurants are walking distance from his place. Ben was very helpful is giving us ideas on what do in Brooklyn and his home looked exactly as it was described. He also had a french press and fresh ground coffee for us which was a nice surprise. Next time we are in New York we would definitely stay at Ben's home.
