We had a wonderful time in John's flat. The location is perfect, beyond our wildest expectations. The flat is a barely-two-minute walk from the L station, that takes you to Manhattan in five minutes. North Williamsburg, where the flat is located, has got to be one of the coolest, best, most laid-back wish-I-lived-here neighborhoods in the world, and there is a ton to do within a 10 minutes by foot radius. The flat itself is great: comfortable, airy, with a lovely old fashioned decor with cool modern touches. Most importantly, everything is sparkling clean and works perfectly: great air conditioning, great shower, super-comfortable mattress, lots of closet space, genius lock that means no keys needed. Its the kind of place that the more you live in, the more you realize the amount of thought and consideration John put into all those little details that make you feel at home. John is a considerate and kind host. He lives downstairs in a completely different flat with a separate entrance, but it was fun to meet him when we arrived, and to know we can theoretically approach him should we need anything - which we didn't because everything was perfect (and we lived there for 16 nights:). All in all - a terrific experience.
