Timo was not only flexible and hospitable (literally offered to show us around and buy us coffee and showed us where to get the cheapest cup), but the apartment itself is beautiful. It is nicely decorated and directly across from a useful subway station. If you Greyhound in, the bus terminal in Brooklyn is right there. There are good food options, parks, and grocery nearby. The place was clean and although we appreciated Timo's kindness, he also allowed us to have our space.
