Stayed in Doug's place for 3 weeks and loved it. He is a fantastic host who was there to greet us and show us around his really cool loft space (it's all one room so perfect for couples or the solo traveler). The kitchen is very well equipped if you're one who enjoys cooking. Doug was kind enough to create plenty of storage for us, there's also an area outside his apartment where you can store suitcases and such too (it's perfectly secure as Doug has the entire top floor of the building). His neighbors are great and there for you if you need any help. The location is perfect if you're one who enjoys walking (as you're close to DUMBO, Vinegar Hill, Clinton Hill and Fort Greene). The subway is a 10-15 minute walk and you're one stop away from the Lower East Side. Highly recommend popping into Brooklyn Coffee Roasters on Washington & Flushing to pick up some coffee. Highly recommend staying here for your New York adventures.
