Had a great time in New York and found Andy to be a really nice guy, hospitable host, and always keen to help. I had a problem with the light in the room but Andy immediately fixed it. There's a lot of construction work going on in the street but if you aren't a light sleeper it's not much to worry about. Room was always nice and warm and a friendly house feel. Brooklyn is a great neighbourhood to stay in, even better than Manhattan IMO as you have easy access to places like Williamsburg and the waterfront with great ease.
