I unfortunately did not meet Cliff as he was traveling himself; I rented his room, which is an amazingly spacious and comfortable bedroom and attending office. The bedroom itself had great light and I slept most nights with the windows open, which was refreshing and breezy. The apartment takes two floors of a typical Brooklyn brownstone that I loved - and walking to the subway / running errands / going out took the shape of an amazing stroll of some of the most beautiful architecture Brooklyn has to offer. I met Lanneau, Cliff's roommate, a couple of days into my stay - an amazingly creative, chill, warm, welcoming, open, smart, funny man who recommended a wine store and hung out with my friends while we all listened to music. We even found out that through the magical network that is Brooklyn, his friend is the twin brother of my friend's neighbor (if that makes sense). I spent too much time out to really make the best out of their great backyard, but maybe on another visit ;) the cats, Food and Menu, come and go as they please and are very low maintenance. I had a very good time and got to know some of the neighbors, which was great and really helps feeling at home in the neighborhood. From what I could see, Cliff is an outstanding photographer and I would have loved to meet him. Highly recommended!
