James is the most genuinely kind, friendly, and generous host I’ve ever had. He really opens up his home to you and I never felt like I was intruding. He is so responsive, only a text away and very helpful. James is just a great person, he treated me very respectfully and never made me feel uncomfortable in any way, he always has a smile on his face and was really fun to bump into around the house when he wasn’t working. He’s been in Crown Heights for 10 years and is a great resource if you want local tips. And his neighbors in the buildings are all super nice, long-time Crown Heights locals. I recommend getting to know them too if you have the pleasure of bumping into them on the stairs or in the stoop.
