I really enjoyed the stay, and Derek and his wife were wonderful hosts. Even though I arrived late at night (3 am), Derek was very accommodating and easy going about the less than ideal check-in time. Was very happy to have an opportunity to talk w/ them for a bit the second night, and learn about their adventures and aspirations in Brooklyn; the place itself has a home-like feeling, and represents the couple living there. The neighborhood itself is authentically Brooklyn, and what you'd hope a diverse, non overly gentrified neighborhood to be. Really close to the subway and a yummy independent cafe/coffee shop. Would strongly recommend a stay here, and think you will enjoy the experience.
