We had a very good stay at Nate's apartment. Communication with him was a breeze and he sent us very detailed instructions and suggestions prior to arrival. His friend was waiting for us at the apartment when we arrived and check-in was fast and easy. Nate also checked in with us throughout our stay to make sure everything was okay.

The apartment itself was as shown, large and well-lit, and we found it quite comfortable for 4 adults and a toddler. The wifi was fast and the projector for watching movies was an extra perk. The building itself is older and a bit rundown, but nothing that's out of the ordinary for NYC (and Nate told us about the building's age in advance). The elevator was out of order for a few days of our stay, but that may have been a fluke and is obviously out of the host's hands-- just make sure you inquire with him to make sure it's working if stairs are an issue.

As for location, the apartment is very convenient to Manhattan and other parts of Brooklyn, and the subway station is just around the corner. We had a rental car for a few days and had no trouble finding parking near the apartment. The highlight of our stay was the proximity of the apartment to Prospect Park, with its playgrounds, running/biking trails, and children's splash park, all within just a few minutes of walking.

Thanks, Nate, we appreciated the stay!
