We stayed at Amaury's place for a week, it's a lovely apartment in a nice area in Brooklyn, right near the park.
Amaury was a great host, the apartment was clean and the instructions were clear. He also checked with us that everything was ok every once in a while.
The apartment is in a quite area and we had no issues with noise at all.
My partner and I both worked from the apartment and it was certainly big enough to be an office for both of us.
We would highly recommend staying there if you get the chance.
