My month-long stay at David's place was so perfect in terms of comfort, cleanliness, convenience to daily amenities, and ease of public transportation. It was also within close proximity to my daughter's. The specific location, with a mega supermarket, self-storage facilities, and a car rental company nearby, is not your typical residential neighborhood. It is however so centrally placed that it is within an easy walk to the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, Brooklyn Museum, public transit, and places to eat. I felt safe in the neighborhood. The exterior of the building does little justice to this well-kept, clean, and modern apartment which looks just like the pictures.
The host was most gracious and hospitable. I appreciate his flexibility as I arrived way past midnight and David met me at the building and helped me carry the heavily loaded luggage up the flights of stairs. There were the fine touches: fresh flowers, complimentary refreshing drinks (an ample supply), and coffee which lasted my entire stay. The kitchen was very well-stocked with all the essentials. The bathroom had a comprehensive set of toiletries. There wasn't anything I found lacking during my stay. I could sense the thoughtfulness and meticulous care that went into ensuring his guests feel comfortable and at home. The bed was very comfortable. The unit was very quiet and I never noticed any noise from outside or the neighbors. There was also a white noise machine!
It is worth noting that the bathroom is rather small, so two bigger-sized persons might have problems.
The whole experience surpassed my expectation. I would happily return. Thank you, David!
