Andre's place is wonderfully located in a nice neighborhood close to restaurants, bars and grocery stores. There's also a laundry one block away which comes in handy on a longer vacation. Andre was an attentive host without any hovering and also very flexible with check-in and check-out times. The place is actually bigger than it looks in the pictures and the kitchen is well equipped. Being a basement apartment, it doesn't get much natural light and the shower takes a bit of adjusting but still a real bargain in Brooklyn. I can easily recommend staying in this apartment and especially having Andre as a host.
