Kate made me feel welcome from the first minute I arrived. Fortunately she arrived from travels at the same time as I at the airport, so we shared a car to her place. Her flat looks exactly as the photos, so it was just as expected, and then some! The room is cosy, and the bed nice. I slept really well all week. The sound of the trains from the bridge felt like the puls of nyc, and added to the athmosphere. Kate is such a warm, generous, energetic and funny person, and made my 9 nights in Brooklyn so much more than had I stayed in a hotel. She knows the neighbourhood and the city, and has great advise for places to visit. I will stay with her again, when I have the chance to go back to NYC and Brooklyn.
