Skip's place is conveniently located in an up and coming Latino area of Brooklyn near Park Slope. Skip's a great host, a real blue collar NY'er, upfront. He likes to share his place, which is funky and not fancy at all- no pretentiousness there. The bedroom is crowded with beds + furniture, and 'large' depends on your definitions-it is not spacious, just big enough. There are good tacquerias and the subway's very close.
I'd guess this ain't for the high-falutin' class, but it's affordable and felt safe despite no locks on the bedroom and bathroom doors.
I'd recommend it as a real home for working class heroes who aren't expecting a lot more than they're paying for...
