3 things stand out: 1) Shane is super responsive, always got right back to me, and is super gracious and welcoming; 2) location is perfect (one block from Smith-9th Street F and G trains, as well as around the corner from Court Street, which has lots of amazing restaurants (Frankie's/Buttermilk Channel etc) and shopping (Yesterday's News etc)); and 3) place is clean, well-equipped, and spacious. The only con would be for the price guests should know beforehand that it's not a luxury apartment or building, in other words it's a real Brookyn apartment (based on my experience as a lifelong Brooklynite) that's not renovated, but everything is clean and there's more space than most similar Brooklyn apartments. Really need to repeat again though that the host is exceptional and the location is amazing for enjoying Carroll Gardens, beautiful walks, and commuting to other Brooklyn neighborhoods/Manhattan. Also street parking is possible, but may take some time and some streets are narrow.
