Nicole is a fantastic host with a lovely home. It provided the perfect base for my girlfriend and I, such that we were able to walk around Brooklyn and see the less touristy areas of NYC, as well as getting a short subway ride into Manhattan. Nicole was incredibly helpful and prior to arriving she even sent me the journey plan for JFK to her home. She often messaged us just to check everything was going well and provided suggestions for things we could do during the day. Nicole's apartment is very nice, tidy and spacious - the area is safe and has some great deli's nearby. I would highly recommend staying with Nicole, her hospitality and generosity were second to none.
