The apartment was very spacious. The room was relatively small but cute and it was nice to have my own half bath. One glitch: The evening before my departure to NY it became unclear if someone would be at home the next day to let me in. This caused a bit of stress from my part, having to take a transatlantic flight. But it was solved and in her absence Zuzi's very friendly housemate took over as the host for the entire stay and was very welcoming. He also lent me a bath towel which was not in the room and I did not bring one. There's a laid back atmosphere in the apartment. Super conveniently located near the subway and a few good and affordable fresh juice bars. The area was so-so, I think Williamsburg would fit me better, but it was great as a very first acquaintance with Brooklyn.
