Jae was a fantastic host. He welcomed us personally and showed us the ropes when we arrived. Nothing was too much trouble for him.

The apartment was pretty much exactly as described. It was roomy, had great facilities (we were grateful for effective heating when the weather cooled down) and was really close to the subway. It's a quick train trip to Bedford Ave, and only another few stops on to Union Square in Manhattan, so a really convenient location.

There's a full line supermarket a couple of blocks down the street, and some nice bars and cafes in the immediate vicinity. A really fantastic wine shop opened up at the base of our building in our first week there, so we were happy with that! There seems to be a deli on every second corner, not just in Brooklyn but everywhere we went in New York.

All in all a great experience.
