Chandle was a great host, the room was super clean, the bed comfy and the view lovely (Brownstone neighborhood). Chandle is also knowledgable on things to do in NY concerning the arts and places to eat in the neighborhood. He is a practicing artist and I found something very nice being around someone who is painting often. Additionally, the spot is close to a train stop which is the R train just at the corner of the block. This made getting to Manhattan and downtown Brooklyn fast! There is one other private room in the unit he rents out to Airbnb guests so you may get to socialize and meet new friends.
