I very much enjoyed my stay with William. He's a very gracious host and very attentive to your needs. The room is as advertised - very spacious and comfortable in a funky old Brooklyn mansion. The bathroom has a big old-fashioned soaking tub with a hand shower. You are 5 blocks from the subway, so all of New York is easily accessible. There are some restaurants and shopping nearby, although a lot of the neighborhood businesses seem to have gone under. The area is not bad, but I would recommend some caution late at night when the neighborhood is a bit deserted. Keep in mind that the room is on the third floor with no elevator, so it's not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. Overall, highly recommended.
