Shola's place was centric, clean, and had everything you might need for a short or prolonged stay. There are planety of grocery stores and restaurants nearby, many of them open 24 hours and that is great when you´re travelling and seizing the moments regeradless of timetables. The subway station is 3 blocks away and also has 24 hour trains running through it and is only 20 minutes to Manhattan; so coming and going was really easy and we could keep up with the city that never sleeps.

But even more so, Shola is a very welcoming and happy person who makes you feel right at home as soon as you arrive. He was very flexible with the check-in and check-out hours and was very helpful with advice and tips which he also gave us in writing in a very practical welcome letter. He even left his kitchen with a great array of healthy groceries and condiments which he invited us to use and were very useful.

On a more subjective side, the house has a great vibe to it and is very comfortable. My wife and I even went grocery shopping ourselves and cooked a couple of times and enjoyed a "day-at-home" in the middle of our hectic 9-day blitz of manhattan. It really felt like home and we were sorry to leave! We will definitely be back to experience more of Brooklyn and of New York.

In summary, great place to stay, great host, great value. I recommend it without hesitation.
