Julian was a great host! The apartment was just as described, clean and spacious and, most important, it was in a quiet but safe neighborhood, extremely close to the subway line J which takes you straight to Manhattan in about 20 min. We didn't get to meet Julian, but he had left us a welcome note and a bottle of wine when we arrived and he was always available for questions, extra requests for the apartment and information about the city. Also, we met his wife Karen and their beautiful daughters! It was the best value-for-money place and I hope every future experience with Airbnb is as satisfying as the one we just had!
