Anthony was a very thoughtful host, and obviously takes great care of a spot that should make any traveler feel welcome and comforable during a humid summer stay. There was plenty of cold water waiting for me in the fridge, a very comfortable bed and about six or seven different pillows to rest my head on. :-) Two other big, relevant factors: you're five minutes from the A/C trains to the city and only a ten minute walk to the Botanical Gardens. There aren't many more convenient places to stay in Brooklyn.
