Eric and Justin are kind, considerate hosts and it was such a pleasure to stay with them. The apartment is just as lovely as it looks in the photos, was comfortable and quiet (with some colourful street noise but this did not affect the bedroom which is at the back of the house). Amenities are all in easy walking distance and Eric and Justin have heaps of good advice about the neighbourhood. Accessing Manhattan and other parts of Brooklyn (Williamsburg was a highlight for me) was cheap and easy on the subway. As a solo female traveller (from New Zealand) I didn't feel super comfortable in the neighbourhood and avoided walking alone after dark - but that probably reflects my cautious nature more than anything.
