Great location and Alaric was a very helpful and friendly host. Alaric's home gives you the feeling of staying in a museum since most of the original features of this Brooklyn brownstone are preserved. Staying in a private room is always a little tricky and I found this one not entirely comfortable, partly due to the awkwardness of having access to my bedroom via the kitchen, which was off limits to guests. The bedroom itself was at the back of the house, so it was quiet and comfortable, although the furnishings were a bit run-down. The private bathroom adjoining the bedroom was functional but cramped.
