We much appreciated Scott 's simple, direct yet very helpful way of hosting. He made us feel perfectly well. The room has a good bed, is comfortable, clean, as is the bathroom. One does need earplugs to sleep peacefully, if not used to the sound of traffic. The small kitchen was enough for us and had its charm.
The neighborhood was full of excellent places to have breakfast lunch or dinner, and we walked twice to the Hudson in a very nice walk. Red Hook is a new neighborhood, also reachable in 15 minutes by foot. The metro station is very near and convenient.
Thank you very much, Scott!
