I stayed in Yves' amazing place for the first week in April 2013.
I stayed with my family (my parents, my brother with his wife and two nephews).
From the very first moment we were welcomed by his assistant Antonio who was extremely nice and helpful showing us everything we needed to know both about the house and the neighborhood (he even found out Brooklyn parking regulations in advance, since we were driving a mini bus!).
The house was very clean and tidy (even my mother who is very strict with cleaning was delighted).
My nephews were even allowed to use toys from Yves’ son which was great to keep them distracted.
The three bedrooms had very comfortable beds and I slept in an armchair that turned into a small but good bed.
The location is amazing just around the corner of the Barclay’s Center (with almost every subway line) and very close to cafes, shops, bars, restaurants, etc…
In summary we had the most incredible stay in Brooklyn and a big part was because of Yves amazing place which I strongly recommend if you are visiting NY.
