Sam was a great host, very warm, responsive and made me feel quite comfortable. The neighborhood is in my top 3 favorites in Brooklyn, so doesn't get any better there. I felt the apartment was much smaller than I thought, was a bit cramped and is effectively stripped down to the bare basics. The location is a non-traditional (a cottage house in between two apartment buildings), but can be viewed as a bonus, where it's off the beaten path and very quiet. This is a great place to crash if you want something cheap, in the center of great nightlife in brooklyn. If you are a prince/princess or homebody, this place is not for you.
