Doug was very welcoming and made me feel comfortable right away. It is obvious he takes pride in his home as everything has its place and it was super clean. He also loves to share his passion of NYC with his guests and is more than willing to offer his knowledge of sights/travel options/eateries etc. I really enjoyed staying here in my home away from home. The room was just as described and perfect for my stay. The area is safe and convenient to access Brooklyn and Manhattan. It is also very quiet so if you are someone who wants to be away from the hustle and bustle then this is the place for you. Thanks Doug!
