Chris is a wonderful host. The location is ideal for access to Manhattan and elsewhere in Brooklyn, and the local neighbourhood is safe and friendly. Chris is an attentive and generous host, always ready to share his time, beer, and roof (complete with grill!). The room is spacious, comfortable, with ample storage, a very comfortable bed, and good a/c. I was in NYC conducting academic research, so had a longer term stay to do work rather than the tourist experience. I was lucky enough to share 4 July with Chris and Jen, and several outings to local pubs and restaurants besides. In short, I had a wonderful time, as you will if you stay.
