Wade is really the perfect host. First of all he’s a nice guy and when I got mixed up over subway stops on the first night (meaning I arrived a lot later than I’d told him) he came to meet me and walked me to the townhouse. Once there he gave me a tour, then let me get settled. Since there were no problems with the house I didn’t see him again until check out, when, once again, he gave me advice on the subway system and gave me the best route to the airport. He was around when I needed him, but never intrusive.

The townhouse itself was exactly as described, spacious, clean and comfortable. As other reviewers have mentioned, a lot of the drawers in the kitchen are tapped shut (I assume Wade uses them for storage) but there’s still room for everything you need. There was good wifi and the place was only a minute from the nearest shop, where you can get pretty much everything you need. The subway was only a 5 minute walk (really easy to get to) and Manhattan is about a 25-40 minute ride away. This can maybe feel a bit laborious if you’re travelling to Manhattan everyday, but there’s lots of cool stuff to do in Brooklyn and I enjoyed walking around and exploring the neighbourhood.

Overall I had a great week at Wade’s townhouse and I’d definitely consider using the place again if I ever go back to New York. Great place. Great host.
