My friend and I had a really good experience at Kevin's place.
Pros:
The host--Kevin went out of his way to get the place ready for us, and we only requested to stay the day before we arrived. He was super flexible and accommodating, and he communicated with me throughout my stay.
The space--The apartment is really nice, spacious, and clean. Good shower, plenty of dishes if you want to cook, and the couch is comfy.
Brooklyn--There are tons of awesome bars, restaurants and cafes.
Cons:
The location--The apartment is a bit far from the more "trendy" areas of Brooklyn and it's a hike to get to Manhattan. It's not far from a train but at night as a solo female traveler I felt more comfortable in a taxi.
Overall, I'd recommend the place and I'd enjoy coming back next time I'm in NYC.
