Living in Fort Green Place 69 was a very good experience. The place is very well located having you connected to JFK by train and metro, and to Manhattan and other parts of NYC by several underground lines. The location also offers a wide variety of food- stores, cafés and other things that serves your needs while travelling.
Doug is not to mention a very interesting host. He is an artist, and his book- carvings might be what catches your eyes at first. He keeps the place very nice and tidy, and spices it up with great conversations when there is time for that sort of thing. I'll definitely go back next time when visiting NYC.
