Lord Daniel is a most excellent host. He is really friendly and was helpful in all of our correspondence leading up to my arrival in New York, and this was consistent in person too.
Upon my arrival he introduced me to some of his housemates which was really nice. It helped me to feel more welcome. Anytime we bumped into each other through my stay we always had a conversation too.
The house is beautiful, and huge. Absolutley love the washrooms, and the huge mirrors in the living and dining room. I dont think i was there long enough to think about cooking or watching a movie on the big screen TV, but if i ever do stay for longer than 5 days I would definitley enjoy using the kitchen and other amenities (bbq in back yard, tv , etc).
Pets take after their owners. His cat Is superbly friendly and when he wasnt out doing Cat things he wanted to hang out with me haha. I really think his cat adds a certain charm to the home as well.
I really liked how the house was within walking distance of (if you dont mind walking anywhere from 5-30 min) so many things. restaurants, coffee shops, Fort Greene, my sister's house, and also close to bus stops and subway stations.
I was fortunate enough to get the massive room with the balcony. I sometimes would open the balcony door to hear the sounds from the street. On the weekend there were some great tunes playing from some neighbors. If you dont want to hear your street neighbors all you need is to keep the balcony doors shut and all is good. There are alot of great lighting options in the massive room from natural light coming through the main doors, to overhead light, to side light or bedside light. depending on my overall feel, each lighting option had a different intensity/hue to suit. So the light should never irritate you.
The bed is soooooo comfortable!!
The airconditioner for those of you going in the summer months is excellent. You cant leave it on when you are out, but it is ok, because it cools the room down rapidly once you do turn it on.
The overall vibe of the house is positive. I highly recommend people stay here. I plan to stay at Lord Daniel's house again!
Thank you for everything and I will see you again
