My boyfriend and I just stayed with Angelo for 2 weeks, and he was totally cool. We brought a lot of stuff with us and he helped us unload and load our car up 4 flights of stairs, which was so nice. Interesting and friendly guy to chat with too, and he can help with recommendations for whatever you need to do!

The location is perfect. The subway is less than a block away and only a few stops from Manhattan. This part of Brooklyn is gritty, but also busy with lots of families and young people around. There are tons of cheap places to eat, and a 24 hour health food store right across the street. Some people will find the train noisy, but personally I got used to it. Wifi can occasionally be flaky, but there are several coffee shops around with free wifi.

The apartment is clean and minimalist, comfy bed -- it's an excellent value for the price. If I had the chance I would definitely stay there again, and I recommend it!
