We really enjoyed staying in Ivan's place. It's a great location on a quiet block but convenient to the park, subway and lot's of great Park Slope restaurants. It was very roomy and comfortable for a weekend getaway for two. I can't tell you too much about Ivan as a host - and that is meant as a compliment. The apartment was well furnished and equipped and instructions for entry, tv, etc. were clear and accurate so we never needed to contact him with questions during our stay. If you are looking for a place to stay in Brooklyn, you can't go wrong here.
