Cynthia's place was great - very clean and in a lovely old building. The location was close to subway lines and in a quiet neighbourhood. During our visit in July the temperature was edging into the 100s, so having access to air conditioning was so necessary and appreciated. We didn't use the kitchen for more than storing water and food in the fridge, but everything in common spaces (including bathroom) were clearly labelled For Guest. Cynthia was helpful and we felt like we could reach out to her for help if needed. Overall, the entire trip was lovely and it was fantastic to be able to use Cynthia's place as a home away from home while exploring Brooklyn and Manhattan.
