Ben was a very gracious host right from the beginning upon our arrival. He met us and walked us through our living space, answering any questions we might have had and then left us to un-pack and explore on our own. The space was exactly as described. To be sure, we were amazed at the sheer beauty of the home. Everything was convenient, including preparing meals, relaxing and reading, to showering and washing dishes in the dishwasher. The living space is exceptionally clean! A fairly well stocked grocery store is within walking distance as well as the subway.
As a host, Ben is extraordinarily friendly and accommodating. I enjoyed a two hour conversation with him on his deck and met his beautiful family. Too, he gave my family a tour of his living space, which was a real treat to explore an historic Brooklyn home. We would certainly love to visit there again!
