Staying at Mark's place was terrific. I felt very welcome as he e-mailed me a very informative check-in welcome list of his expectations, neighborhood info, like groceries and restaurants, and places to go. The place was very comfortable with nice linens and a great shower. The neighborhood was interesting and the street was charming. You can walk right out the door and down the tree lined street with beautiful brownstones all the way down to the Brooklyn Bridge. I was visiting with family and had such a nice time I do not know how it could have been better. This is a great Brooklyn neighborhood and I would come back to Mark's place in a heart beat.
