Doug was a great host for my Brooklyn stay! He has a nice, cozy and quiet little place full of interesting books about art/artist, history and philosophy, which I thoroughly enjoyed roaming throughas an artist and poet myself. The backyard is lovely with flowers and plants and a little patio to sit out on. He is accommodating in any way to make sure you are comfortable and enjoy your stay in the city. His place is within walking distance to Fort Greene park, Urban Glass and BRIC, many resturants, shops, the subway and only a few miles from the Brooklyn Museum of Art and the Brooklyn Bridge. I enjoyed getting to know a fellow artist and look forward to more chats with Doug when I return to Brooklyn for another class in the winter.
