I feel guilty that I can only give 5's, if I had known some Airbnb's can be run so well I wouldn't have given any of the other half dozen places I've stayed in Brooklyn over the last 2 months any fives.
Not only did Steve's place change my opinion of Airbnb it changed my opinion of New York. As a Midwesterner certain aspects of NYC were getting to me, but Steve's apartment and his neighborhood perfectly represented the idealized TV perception I had of New York.
Not only do I highly recommend this place I would suggest to NOT preplan your trip. Red Hook is an amazing neighborhood with it's own things to do there and if you want a true behind the scenes tour of Red Hook or any advice to where you really should go in NYC, then there is no better concierge/tour guide than Steve and his roommate.
Between them I believe their circle of friends encompasses ALL of New York. Every sentence seemed to begin with "a friend of mine" and the insight or suggestions to where to go were always spot on.
