My friend and I had a pretty comfortable stay at Skip's place. You get a warm room and a perfect hot shower in an old Brooklyn home in a quiet residential neighborhood. Skippy is a welcoming and knowledgeable host, and as a veteran New Yorker really knows the ins-and-outs of the city (including where and how to get around, which subways to take where, etc!). We were up and out very early in the morning and back rather late at night, but he didn't mind at all. Also enjoyed being around his dog and two awesome cats!
