Greg was a great host! Very friendly and accomodating. The apartment was well furnished, there was even food in the kitchen and in the fridge. We pretty much had everything we needed. I've seen better areas than East New York, but it wasn't too much of an issue because the C train station was only a five-minute walk away, so we were quickly on our way to Brooklyn and Manhattan every morning. Plus, there was a grocery store and a pharmacy near the station entrance, so we were able to get everything else that we needed during the week. At the end of our stay, even though he didn't have to, Greg drove us to the airport. That was a very kind and helpful gesture, especially since we were tired from a week of non-stop walking around New York. Great guy, highly recommended.
