Our stay with Skip was perfect; the night we arrived, he waited for us though it was very late in the night. He then offered us the best service we could ask for: his knowledge of NYC is one of the best resources for newcomers, and his advice was always greatly appreciated. My family and I enjoyed conversations after tiring days, and sharing different stories and experiences. It was a great way to get to know our host better.

About the location and the apartment: even though it was our first time there, we loved staying in Brooklyn, especially because Skip's place is literally 5 minutes aways from a useful metro station, and about a 15 minute ride from Manhattan. The neighborhood offers lots of great places to eat, is safe and it also is more "authentic" than most places you could find in Manhattan. The view from Sunset Park, which is 2 blocks aways, is breathtaking at night and we enjoyed some improvised picnics there. The room is just as described in the add: big enough and well furnished, with clean linens and towels and an AC system which is great during the hot months of summer!

We will definitely come back if we have the opportunity one day, and we highly recommend staying with Skip for your trip to this amazing city!
