What an amazing host! I felt at home as soon as I walked into Johari's place. A well loved and lived in house in a great location. I was staying for a whole month so this spot was just far away enough to be away from the hectic city when I needed it and super easy to reach manhattan and many other places. There are 3 different subway stations within a ten minute radius taking you to pretty much anywhere you need to go. There are also multiple delis and stores in the area, including a big supermarket around 10 minutes walk away. At night the area is really quiet, not a lot if anything goes on, I was also out very late at night (jazz musician) and not once felt worried about coming home on my own.
Johari as a host was wonderful, got back to any questions I had almost immediately and was really helpful, and he pointed me in the direction of some great things during my stay. Also a great person, was really friendly whenever we crossed paths in the house. Couldn't recommend this highly enough if you want somewhere that you can really have your own private space and get to know Brooklyn as well as the rest of the city. Thanks!
