Britt's place was wonderful! We stayed for 4 weeks in August. Communication with Britt was really quick and easy - we had to change our trip dates a few times and Britt was very accommodating.

On arrival, Kaaren, who lives in a separate apartment downstairs met us with the keys and gave us all information we needed - most things were pretty self explanatory but it was great to know someone was nearby to help - not that we needed it during the trip.

The kitchen and living area is very spacious and clean with all the essentials provided. There's also lots of lighting options with faders which is a nice addition. The terrace and garden were perfect for breakfast and sun lounging - we were out working long days so didn't get to spend as much time outside as we would have liked to.

The master bedroom is really big with plenty of storage space and faces the street. The two back bedrooms overlooking the garden are a great size for doubles - again with plenty of storage space. All the rooms had luggage racks in them and individually controlled air conditioning units.

The internet was running a bit slow for a few days but a restart recommended by Britt helped with this.

The neighbourhood is great - there's a laundrette a few doors down, lots of restaurants, bars and coffee shops within a few blocks. It's about a 5-10 minute walk to a big supermarket and pharmacy too. Feels very safe. It's also very quick to get from the house to Manhattan - one stop on the subway or 20/25 minutes in a car to Greenwich village where we were working.

We extended our trip whilst we were there and Britt was nice enough to accommodate this change even though she was coming back into town - it was a great help to us and meant I was able to meet Britt and say thanks in person.

All in all it was an excellent stay and we would definitely return to the house given the opportunity.
