If you are looking for a house with soul, you have come to the right place. We spent one week here with my mom and we will remember it for a long time. We really appreciate George's care, the delicious vegan food, the local coffee, the amazing organic cosmetics he offers his guests, you will really feel at home here soon. We really liked the community way George offers his house, he himself provides his guests with a lot of things for free and freely, but he emphasizes their responsibility towards the common areas and other guests, which is really great. Of course the house has its age and its associated minor ailments, such as creaky floors and doors, shared bathroom, but these are all part of the overall authentic Brooklyn experience :-)

The mattress and pillow could have been more comfortable and the towels could have smelled a bit better.

Very interesting place in a great neighbourhood well connected to the metro. The owner provided us with many extra amenities, including free food. We liked very much that there was a sink in our room.

I really like the area, I felt safe and is convenient walking distance to Subway. My room was big and comfortable. George asked every day what I wanted for my vegan breakfast and provided what I requested. Very clean kitchen areas and bathroom.

No coffee in kitchen, only multiple varieties of tea and hot chocolate -- but great cappuccinos at the bakery cafe a few blocks away.

Lovely, walkable neighborhood, convenient to subway and Atlantic Terminal -- lots of nice restaurants and cafes within easy walking distance. Nice old building with lots of original details (parquet floors, marble fireplace both in our room and the kitchen, ornate plaster moldings, beautiful antique tiles in bathroom) -- not pristinely redone, but everything perfectly clean and comfortable, with new mattress and big flat screen TV. Great big bedroom.

The building is old, with dated kitchen and bathroom facilities. My bedroom was one floor above the shared bathroom.

George is an excellent communicator, and he wanted to make my stay as comfortable as possible. It’s in a lovely, safe neighborhood. I had a large room and used the AC. Wi-Fi was good.
