Waldemar was a welcoming and friendly host. The accommodation was as described, with a comfortable bed, large bathroom and nice modern amenities like HDTV and WiFi.

This room in one of New York's ubiquitous brownstones is a good alternative to the usual tourist spots in Manhattan, with a great cafe and bar just around the corner from the property, providing a good insight to what life is like for most New Yorkers. There are two subway lines within 15 mins which allowed easy access to Manhattan and the rest of Brooklyn.
