We had a great stay at Julia's place. The location in Dumbo was perfect, close to Brooklyn Bridge Park which is stretched along the East river waterfront, with a great view over Manhattan and several playgrounds along the way. The room was nice and spacious, just like the pictures. The sliding door to the room was not really soundproof, but we were only wary about it because we didn't always manage to keep our 21 month old daughter quiet... The communication with Julia was great from before the booking and throughout the end of our stay. She also let us check in earlier than we estimated, and gave us lots of info about the area and what to do, together with a sheet of paper with key info about the area. We would definitely recommend Julia's place to other visitors.
