Our stay at Norma and Mawuli’s place was a very positive experience. They are exceptional hosts and did not mind going the extra mile to accommodate our needs with flexible check-in and out. The communication was super quick and supportive.
We liked the cleanness of the apartment, comfortable beds, and TV, and enjoyed our breakfasts around the spacious table. I personally liked my morning cup of coffee in the little backyard listening to birds :)
The apartment is located in Brooklyn, and you can experience what common life in New York looks like. We felt safe walking to and from a subway with our kids. Local grocery stores and food places mostly are not fancy but nice and provide everything you need, and people are friendly.
There are two subway stations within walking distance, and we traveled to Manhatten as locals, it was a part of our experience, too. Our kids were excited to use the subway because at home we usually drive, and a 30-40 minutes commute is ok for a big city.
I definitely recommend this place for many reasons and especially the hosts' hospitality and kindness.
