John was a really helpful and communicative host even though he was travelling abroad. His apartment is large and airy, with great natural light. There's all the basic amenities needed and the bed is a comfy king! The neighbourhood is fairly quiet with a few local bars and restaurants nearby - although Bushwick is still pretty grungy. The subway is also only a 5 min walk away that takes you into Williamsburg or Manhattan. We'd recommend John's apartment for anyone looking to have an authentic Brooklyn experience.
