We stayed for a week in Timo's apartment during our winter holidays. Overall it was a great experience: the location in downtown brooklyn makes it easier to enjoy both manhattan and brooklyn by foot. There are several subway station around so you can change the routes every day. Considering the room and apartment: it's probably the best airnbnb experience we had in new-york: cozy, cinematic, with a lot of books to look through. And Timo was very nice and friendly so we will definitely try to come back.
