Nick was, hyperbole aside, an excellent host; a pleasure to communicate with, he even checked back in with us a few hours after our arrival. The apartment is a dream – comfortable, cozy, spacious, perfectly lit – I have a long list of flattering adjectives that apply. The projector/Apple TV combo was ideal for a quiet movie-night in and the spacious kitchen was perfect for whipping up a home-cooked meal with ample seating space to enjoy said meal.

If staying in doesn't fit your MO, Red Hook offers a long list of quaint and quality neighborhood haunts. Nick was kind enough to make some suggestions, among them the local bakery, Baked, was a home run.

All in all, a wonderful host and experience – one I can genuinely and vehemently recommend you experience.
