Me and my family stayed in Don's apartment for a week and it was perfect. Very convenient location - walking distance to groceries, shopping areas, laundries, and subway station. We found the neighborhood quite safe at night. The one BR apartment is pretty big (esp for NYC), with plenty of closets and storage areas, large sized living room, kitchen & dining, and bathroom. We were very impressed with the welcome - Don is an excellent host as he had everything arranged for us. There were plenty of blankets, towels, and sheets; clean kitchen with clean appliances, coffee, tea, sugar for the first day; even hair dryer, shampoos and mouthwash in the bathroom.. we felt very welcomed. To be honest it was a different experience staying in NYC this time with so much space at ones disposal. Don is very accessible and responds to questions on time. I highly recommend his apartment for a nice experience in and around Brooklyn.
Thanks Don!
