John’s place is exactly as described - no frills. I was in the city apartment hunting and was able to work quietly from the room during the day, hop around at night, and have a warm place to return to for a good night’s sleep. Being able to use the kitchen was so helpful, too. I only traversed Brooklyn during my stay but for the most part, commuting is easy and pretty fast with the Gates J/Z just up the block. (The apartment is also surprisingly very quiet being on the 3rd floor.) John, his housemate Joe, and sweet Wonky made for an overall accommodating and pleasant stay. Thanks again!
