I'm from Brooklyn, New York, and am an urban planner who runs a non-profit organization that does economic development and neighborhood revitalization work.
I booked this spot on behalf of my parents who were coming to visit me in Brooklyn. As such, I am posting a review on their behalf. They found the accommodations to be perfect and charming. The hosts were equally amenable to their needs. I have no doubt they'll call on me to book the very same spot again when next they come to town.
As soon as we walked into the apartment we felt welcomed. It's very spacious,clean, and modern (just like the pictures). Blaise and Eric were very patient with our questions. Love the neighborhood and it was a bonus to be across from Fort Greene Park. The bedroom was spacious and having a private bathroom is a big plus. Definitely recommend to all.
It was our first time making this type of travel arrangement - we enjoyed our stay and thank them both! Just like others have said so well below, Blaise and his partner are excellent hosts and the room, private bathroom and home are just like the pictures. A quiet and safe neighborhood, and a walk past the park to the subway stations can get you into the city on a good schedule.
I enjoyed my stay in Brooklyn very much. Blaise and his partner are kind, helpful and thoughtful hosts. The appartment is a great place: cosy and spacious, i really felt like being at home. It's also perfectly located regarding transports and discovering the neighbourhood. In brief: highly recommended! Thanks again guys for everything!

I enjoyed my stay in Blaise's place very much. The flat looks just like the pics. The room is big enough with a huge closet and the whole place is very clean and cosy. It is rather quiet and I slept very well. Blaise is an exellent host, who helped me with all information I needed both before my arrival as while I was staying. This was my first booking with airbnb, a very pleasant experience and the reason I will use it again.
My husband and I had a most enjoyable five day stay at the 4th floor brownstone townhouse of Blaise Backer. As a host, Blaise was welcoming, supportive and most respectful of our space. His home is beautifully and comfortably decorated. The kitchen area is well organized and we were able to store a few perishables in his refrigerator and use the microwave and "hot water tap" to fix simple breakfasts before setting out for the day. Blaise indicated that we could use his kitchen to prepare... More »
It was a pleasure to stay at this beautiful, qiet, very clean and spacious appartement. I totally recommend Blaise´ place for an upgraded stay in NYC! We didn´t know Blaise lived in that app beforehand, but he made it very easy for us to feel comfortable. This is the best choise I´ve ever made for a stay in NYC!
Blaise is a thoughtful, gracious host and his home was beautiful and comfortable. Our bedroom and bathroom were clean and tastefully decorated. We enjoyed the neighborhood which was historic and had good food and drink options. It was also nice to be right across the street from Fort Greene park. Getting to and from Manhattan was fairly easy. My boyfriend and I had a good stay!
