My stay at Ben's place was excellent. Prime location for subway access to get in/out of Williamsburg with proximity to plenty of excellent food choices. He was a terrific host to meet me and walk me through everything I had questions about getting there.
I got a little hot in the bedroom with the door closed to the very comfortably cool common area the first night. Also, not being used to sleeping with the NYC noise was a new experience. The next day while I was at work, he brought over a white noise machine, fan, and small portable AC unit that helped cool down the bedroom and helped me sleep in the very comfortable queen-sized bed. Ben provided all the amenities in excellent condition. (Good quality toiletries for those who need them, and he offered to supply anything I forgot.) I have not had another host go above and beyond for their guests. I will definitely be back!
