Michael made us feel very welcome even though we were unable to meet in person since we arrived fairly late that evening. Obtaining the key, getting access to wifi, etc were all smooth. The neighborhood is very nice but not super busy if you're looking for something to do. That being said it's a short walk from the metro and when we stayed there we did find a cool hole in the wall bar to grab a drink close by too. We loved staying in Brooklyn, visiting Manhattan, and staying at this listing.
