Michael was a wonderful host! My check in was flexible, I was given a clear tour, I felt safe, the subway is only two blocks away, market and delis there, barber shop etc. Sometimes East NY gets a tough rep, but people are real here and good Brooklynites will always lend a helping hand :) I loved the AC, big tv, very comfortable bed, nice living room area to relax and journal etc, very clean. Good backyard for crunching fall leaves! Would recommend and return! Thanks Mike!
