It was wonderful to stay at James' home in Brooklyn. He took the time to make sure we felt welcome and had everything we needed. The home is spacious, clean, bright, and quiet. My girlfriend and I felt safe in the home and walking around the neighborhood. When we return to NYC, we will stay with James again.
If you stay with James, I would highly recommend Little Skips, a wonderful coffee shop about 8 blocks away. Fantastic coffee, bagels, and sandwiches.
