Debbie is a wonderful person and host. As a host she was attentive but unobtrusive. Generous and always available if we had a question or wanted a quick chat, she has such a warm, infectious energy and love of life and people.

This energy definitely comes across in her place. The flat is beautifully decorated and the garden a relaxing place to unwind for a few minutes - it feels far from the bustle of New York

We found it easy to reach the metro to get to Manhattan (about 45 minutes from the door, depending on where in Manhattan) and other parts of Brooklyn. This area of Brooklyn is also very vibrant with some beautiful brownstone architecture. Nearby Franklin Avenue has some nice, trendy cafe's and bars. And while we were there, was building up for a huge carribean festival.
