Jerry's eclectic, mod, stylish, deeply-storied, well-appointed manse in Flatbush/Ditmas Park was the perfect base and sanctuary for our 4-adult, 4-kid trip to NYC. We easily explored Brooklyn and Manhattan being steps from the Q train, vibrant commercial streets, and Prospect Park. We played and ate in a space made for family entertaining: warm, expansive kitchen; large porch, deck, yard and basketball hoop; plant-filled sitting rooms. We slept amazingly in a quiet neighborhood in cozy rooms and comfortable beds. In short, we felt right at home and appreciated all the memorable details: a friendly orange tabby cat, Victorian stained glass, art mixed with family photos, colorful array of tableware, amazing library and DVD collection, mysterious corners and back stairways, and the sense of simpatico with a family we don't even know. I can't recommend his place more highly! This is no sterile, staged AirBnB - this is what the sharing economy is supposed to be about!
