We just ended a 9 days stay at Richelles place in Brooḱlyn, and we all agree we had a great time at The Hancock. The apartment is exactly as beautiful as the pictures suggests. We were 5 people, two grown-ups, two kids and a baby. The girls had their own room and the grown-ups theirs with really comfortable beds and all we needed to enjoy our stay (maybe the air-conditioning could have been more silent though). For us the bathroom had particular significance: After long days in the baking heat in Manhattan it was wonderful to return home to the spa-like feel of that spacious room, with both shower and bubble bath - and lovely, fluffy, white towels.

We arrived late night and Richelle was there welcoming us in person, making sure we were all ok. The stocked fridge was a true joy for the breakfast the day after but also for that night, as we were hungry and too dazed to shop.

The neighbourhood is friendly but situated at quite a distance from Manhattan. Ideally we would have loved it to be a little closer to the action, but then the price of this place would surely rise dramatically as everything else is close to perfect.

Richelle was nothing else but astoundingly friendly and helpful. If ever we had a problem she would be right there to solve it. We also enjoyed our small chats about all and nothing. We were even invited to the neighbourhoods block party (that we did not have time to attend).

We would gladly recommend Richelle's place to everyone!
