Despite the heat wave in New York, we enjoyed our stay very much and really liked the Fort Greene neighborhood. Gordon was an excellent host and his brownstone is beautiful and very welcoming. It is conveniently located and helps one get away from the constant noise of Manhattan. There is no street noise. Gordon was very helpful in answering questions and came with great suggestions for things to do. Enjoyed staying there. Gordon was available, but we also felt we had privacy. We also enjoyed sitting out in the morning in the little garden and having our coffee.
