Richard’s place was fantastic it was as described if not better in a fantastic neighborhood within two blocks of everything you could ever imagine you might need bagels Shoe Repair the best pizza on the block fun neighborhood really sweet people Richard was so accommodating his communication was stellar the place was so clean and it’s this huge huge apartment I couldn’t believe it it does have stairs so just keep that in mind if you bring a lot of luggage you wanna know that there is a bit of a little bit staircase nothing too drastic and he’s so helpful he was really great offering to take my bags up for me what a nice man and his family lives downstairs so you just have to be cautious not to slam Doors or be making a bunch noise upstairs so just be courteous everybody was nice I loved loved loved the neighborhood it was so great to just step out my door within one block and go and have some coffee and bagels with friends or enjoy the colorful mix of people it was a lot of fun I feel like I was in a movie based in New York in the way people were so cool and funny yet nice I would highly recommend his place very clean and the bed was the best I actually am going to have to buy that bed it was that comfortable and the place was so big and I said that already but gosh I loved it has everything you need and he was so kind Richard was the best When I need to return to New York and I have to be in Brooklyn I will stay at his place!! FIVE STARS!!
