As good an experience in a shared apartment as you could hope for. Steve is a class act. He is warm and kind, going out of his way to make people feel welcome. It’s obvious that he enjoys helping people and interacting with guests.
The room is fairly spartan, but clean and adequately sized for a couple. The bed isn’t going to win awards for comfort, but my girlfriend and I slept fine on it while we were there for a long weekend.
The apartment is very clean and tidy with nice touches throughout. The coup de gras is the deck though. Morning coffee, afternoon wine, or a night cap. It’s a phenomenal space to hang out in on a nice day or night.
While the bar downstairs was loud on Saturday night, we were so tired from a day of running around Brooklyn that we were able to sleep, but there was music until near 4 AM, so if you’re a light sleeper, that may be a problem. On Sunday, we barely noticed it. All that said, Red Hook is an amazing neighborhood in Brooklyn with loads of options for getting around. Citi bikes, bus, Uber, scooter... getting to the main subway lines was easy.
The listing is super accurate... everything you could want or need is a stones throw away. We could not recommend Steve’s place more highly.
