I barely have words to express how absolutely amazing John's place is. It was spacious, clean, so cozy and stylishly beautiful. My teen boys and I had our own private spaces and plenty of space to hang out in the living room and to use the kitchen and bathroom. "Sick" is one word I thought my teenager used but he actually said "sweet" -- apparently the up-to-date version of "dope" -- my era, lol. So, as John said, teen approval is a great thing.
And speaking of John, what an amazing, communitive and kind host. He made me feel welcome days before we even got there. He's the perfect host and I felt like he truly cared about our comfort -- Super Host, indeed.
The neighborhood is great, too -- right on the G and L trains and about 10 mins or less from Manhattan. Walkable to bodegas, bars, restaurants and a bit longer but pleasant walk to beautiful Park Slope and downtown Brooklyn (for clothes shopping.)
The first five minutes we arrived, I texted John (half-jokingly) saying we want to live at his spot. But I'll take second best and definitely come back one day!
