My sister and I really enjoyed staying at Ben's place. It was in a great location, a 5-10 minute walk to everything we needed and wanted during our stay in Brooklyn, including the trains to Manhattan. Ben made checking in incredibly easy with a key lock pad, and the place was just as pictured. I enjoyed the stylish decor and I felt right at home. I particularly liked the high water pressure in the shower, it was soooo nice, as good as the high-end hotels I've visited! I was healing from a kidney infection so I spent quite a bit of time in that room. It was small but very very doable, especially for New York, there was enough room to walk around and put your bags down if your stuff doesn't all fit on the shelves (saying it could fit more than the bed!) There was also a good amount of space in the living room which we shared with Ben. He wasn't always home so we used it a bit then, and I could tell that had we wanted to use it while he was there, and we asked, he would have gladly let us use it . He also had everything we needed to cook at home, which was really nice to save a bit of money for our restaurant hopping. Ben was friendly and considerate and made sure we had what we needed. I would definitely recommend Ben's place for your future NYC visit!
