Nick's place is in the historic Brooklyn neighborhood of Bed-Sty...brownstone homes...very authentic...I arrived at night and could easily reach a Chinese takeout. There are supermarkets and delis close by. The home is cosy, functional and comfortable. Amenities including kitchen utensils are thoughtfully selected with close attention to design. Both the bed and the couch are firm and comfortable. There are several heaters. The subway is only a few blocks away and makes it easy to go uptown.
