Staying with Gus was a great experience. He an his wife were incredibly friendly and he took the time to let me know about great places to eat and shop in the area. It's a nice apartment, in a great part of town. The apartment is a few blocks from the L train, from which you can easily go almost anywhere in Brooklyn and Manhattan. Also, the room is very nice and well-kept, and it's right near the front door, so you don't feel like you are invading their personal space whenever you come and go. Of course, they don't mind you hanging out and using the kitchen and communal area either. I don't have enough good things to say! How's this: I came to New York to do a comedy show, and they came and saw my show! How crazy is that?
