We spent two weeks over the Christmas - New Year period in Alexandre's apartment. It was great and exactly as pictured - nicely presented, clean and spacious, and cosy even when it was snowing outside! It had everything we needed and was an excellent base for exploring Manhattan and Brooklyn. There are good cafes and restaurants, as well as a supermarket, within walking distance. The apartment is in a street with mixed buildings, other brownstones as well as newer apartments and other housing. Alexandre was a friendly and accommodating host, including organising to get us let in even though we arrived very late on Christmas night.
