I stumbled upon Angelo’s listing on an emergency situation and I’m so glad I picked his place! He was the best host I could’ve asked for, and we became friends instantly. Bonus points: I got to meet his parents and sister, and everyone treated me like I was part of the family. The apartment was clean, organized, and he made sure I was comfortable at all times. The room was sunny, the bed was comfortable, and I had plenty of space for my things. My favorite thing about his place was the location – his apartment is literally steps from the metro station, but also near a 24-hour deli, a fruit and vegetable market that was also open pretty late, a drugstore and some fast food joints. You don’t have to go far from Angelo’s apartment to get things you might need, but at the same time, you’re a short train ride from most things NYC has to offer. I can’t wait to go back to Brooklyn and when I do, there’s nowhere else I’d rather stay in!
