I really enjoyed my weeks living in John's townhouse in what I like to call deep south Brooklyn. It's on a pleasant and quiet residential street but with easy access to shops, laundromats and a slew of great little restaurants.
John himself is just an excellent host - considerate, thoughtful and as hands-on or hands-off as you need him to be for a great stay. I wouldn't hesitate to stay with John again and highly recommend him. Man's a Super-Host (TM) for a reason, ya dig?
