Waldemar is a very personable, laid back host, which I appreciated. The space itself is exactly as shown in the photo, though perhaps a little more casual than it appears. It was roomy, with an en suite bath and tiny private deck, which was nice. Cable TV, ceiling fan, and AC also provided.

The location is a bit of a schlep to Manhattan, although there are subway stops nearby. I couldn't figure out how to get to the upper east side without having to get off one train, walk a block or two, and get on another, but I'm sure there must be a way.

Very convenient to BAM and all things Brooklyn. I found on-street parking where I could leave my car unmolested for two or more days.

All in all a pleasant stay. It's nice not to have to worry about having a safe, friendly place to return to at the end of the day.
