I went with my mom and her friend, and it was their very first visit to NYC. We had a great experience staying at Christophe's place for six days.
We got everything we needed soon after arrival. Christophe was very friendly and also very responsive either by text or in person. The room is neat and the house is very clean. We had a cozy stay as it felt like home.
There are two Metro stations nearby and one 24-hour supermarket just right at the corner. We enjoyed making our own breakfast at home for some days. There are also a few nice restaurants downstairs on the same avenue. Prospect Park, Brooklyn Public Library, Brooklyn museum, Botanic Garden are all in walking distance.
There are also two lovely and friendly cats. We enjoyed their companies. It's one nice bonus for us as cat lovers.
