We really enjoyed our stay in Chris's place. Chris was an excellent host and very responsive to questions via email. The apartment is fashionably furnished and comfortable with lots of natural light from the large windows. The location can't be beat >> two blocks from the L train and a quick ride to Manhattan, and also a short walk to the East River ferry. There are lots of nice restaurants and shops in the neighborhood. The only drawback was that on weekend nights there was noise from crowds in the street pretty much all night long, though during the week it was pretty quiet. We have been to New York several times before, staying in Manhattan, and this stay in Brooklyn has me converted >> so much more pleasant a place to walk around and to relax after a day of museums and shows :)
