Emily is an awesome host, very friendly, responsive and communicative. We were provided all the necessary information that we ever needed on the place, the surrounding area, commute and parking options, places of interest etc. This is a beautiful basement accommodation, not too far from Prospect park. The building itself is charmingly old but maintained very well. The space has all the essentials you may need except, probably a kitchenette. The decor is Bohemian-Chic with books everywhere, you could even spend a day just being indoors and not bother going outside. Street parking is free if you manage to find a space. The area has a lot of good cafe, bar and restaurant options within walking distance. A metro stop is not too far either. All in all, this is a great place to stay and discover the NYC area and we definitely intend to return to in the future!
