The flat was lovely, with big and clean rooms and lots of space! The flat was very quiet, no noise from the street at all as it sits in the back of the building.

The subway into Manhattan was just a short walk away, and there were shops and cafes around which was very convenient. Prospect Park, Brooklyn Botanical Gardens and the Brooklyn Museum are all within easy walking distance of the flat.

Mariam was very welcoming, even though she couldn't meet us personally to hand over the keys she arranged for us to pick them up at a time that suited us, and was in contact with us regularly before and after our arrival to ensure that everything was in order. She also left us drinks and snacks in the kitchen, which was very thoughtful and made us feel welcome!
