We had a great time at Greg’s place, he was a really good host. Very friendly very welcoming and was happy to do anything we asked of him. The set up at the house is there are three apartments one on each floor. Greg the host lives on the ground floor or in America the first floor. The apartment we stayed in was on the second floor and there was another one rented out to AirB&B guests on the top floor. The apartment was clean and tidy and well kitted out with everything we needed for our fortnights stay. The master bed room was really big with a desk and chair and lots of light. The other two bedrooms were both tiny. One had a double bed with no clothes storage the other had a single bed with a small chest of drawers on the side table. There was a wardrobe in the kitchen area for clothes storage which made it okay. The area which forms part of the East Brooklyn district was okay. The house is very well located to get on various different subways all within just a few minutes walk. I imagine the area used to have some problems given all of the bars on doors and windows however we felt safe there. We felt safe in every borough of New York that we visited. It’s apparent that the city has become very safe compared to how it used to be. It was also very friendly just like the rest of New York. We had no idea what the area was going to be like before we arrived and although it looks a bit rough round the edges it really was no problem at all. Like the rest of New York it seems it was very multicultural which suited us. It is a noisy area and was noisy at night, not least because there is a fire station just up the road. This did not cause a problem at all but we are used to staying in noisy areas. We had the windows open which didn’t help the noise. The windows could’ve easily been shut as most rooms have air-conditioning units. If you are looking for an affordable place to stay with your family this is a great spot. Greg really is a great host and a warm friendly person who it was a pleasure to meet. I would highly recommend this place.
