Steve was a friendly, attentive, and accommodating host. He gave great tips on local restaurants, bars, and neighborhood spots to explore in Red Hook within a short walk of the apartment, and on the summer days of my stay he very thoughtfully left the fridge stocked with home-brewed iced coffee and tea.
The second floor apartment was clean and well furnished, and Steve and Nick have great book and film collections on display in the main room. The bedroom had ample sunlight during the day as described, with options of leaving the window open for fresh air and the sounds of Van Brunt Street or turning on central air conditioning/heating. There's a hip local dive bar (Brooklyn Ice House) next door so there may be more noise on the weekends, but closing the window keeps the noise out pretty well if that's an issue for visitors. While it was nice out, the apartment's back terrace was a great place to eat, hang out, and watch passersby, with chill vibes from the bar's backyard next door wafting over.
It was a real treat to have such a comfortable place to stay while visiting Brooklyn, in a unique neighborhood with the character of a small waterfront town, just a short car, bike, or bus ride (or leisurely walk) from the busier areas of Park Slope and Brooklyn Heights. Highly recommend for solo visitors or couples.
