The first thing I want to say is that David is a wonderful host, possibly the best I have ever had, and his place in Brooklyn was excellent. It is true that the photos do not really do it justice. The kitchen is small, but it has everything you need and all the cupboards and drawers are clean and organized. David will provide anything that you think is missing very quickly, as he did for us when we needed extra dish towels. There is a good view out of the kitchen window, looking out on some trees and other greenery. The living room is quite spacious and the sectional couch and chairs are very comfortable. It is decorated very nicely with a lovely TV console and bright, colourful walls. The WiFi covers the whole apartment and the signal is strong in every room, which is important if you are travelling with teenagers. The bathroom is not massive, but it does have a tub and a very nice shower. It is also impeccably clean. The skylight above the bathroom sink lets in natural light so it is very well illuminated. There are three bedrooms, one of which is accessed through the largest bedroom at the front of the apartment. My youngest son slept in that room so having him pass through it was not a problem for me. The beds were comfortable and the bedding was crisp and hotel-like. There are window-mounted air conditioners is three of the rooms and they cool the whole apartment easily. The staircase leading up to the apartment is on the steep side, but didn’t pose any problems or concerns for us. The neighbourhood is wonderful. There are places to eat, shop and walk. The subway is about 7 minutes away, which makes all of NYC easily accessible. We would definitely try to book David’s place again when we return to the city.
