We had a great time at Adam's cottage in Brooklyn. As it was really hot in NYC, it was great to come back to a cool spacious apartment where we each had our own space to relax (family of four with two teenage boys). It was handy having two bathrooms too. The apartment was exactly as described, and the beds were comfortable; we slept well. Even though Adam was out of town for our arrival he was very responsive in answering our questions. His apartment was a bit of a way from Manhattan, but with the metro card the trips cost virtually nothing. The metro is also quite interesting for people-watching. We came back a few times around midnight and didn't feel that the neighbourhood was particularly dangerous. Definitely recommend as a hotel alternative!!
