Our 3 night stay at Chris's was comfortable and pleasant. Our room was clean, large enough to cozy up in with our computers at the end of our busy days, and just a few steps from the spotless full bathroom. There was plenty of hot water for showers. Chris let us store a few items in the fridge and cupboard, and we had use of the kitchen. We also had use of the living room. The location of Chris's apartment was perfect for exploring Brooklyn, and just a 15 minute walk from the Brooklyn Museum of Art. There was absolutely no dog smell, though an earlier review noted a wet dog smell. We'll definitely stay with Chris on future trips to Brooklyn.
