Alicia was a good host for our first time in Brooklyn. She was flexible on check-in times, communicated well throughout the whole weekend and suggested some great restaurants as well as special events going on in her funky neighborhood.
The apartment is very central and on a lively residential street, but the bedroom faces the back garden so it feels quiet and peaceful at the end of a long travel day!
I know some reviews have complained about a smell of smoke, which didn't bother us at all -- even though my travel buddy is sensitive to certain odors.
