Amanda's appartment was a great place to explore Manhattan and especially Brooklyn (Williamsburgh & Buschwick). It was a 5 minute walk to the nearest subway station from which you could go to Manhattan in 15 minutes. The neighbourhood felt safe even when you returned at night. Shops and restaurants were nearby.
The appartment was nicely and modern furnitured. You could feel at home quickly. When the heating was on it was pretty hot in our room and in the bathroom.
Amanda was really nice and gave us some great recommendations for exploring Brooklyn. She was a really endeavoring host but we did not see here much during our stay.
