Both Shaila and Alex were very welcoming and helpful. The apartment was as the pictures look liked, spacious and cool. We had to throw out some of the grocery's other people left as they were a bit fungy but were left with good intentions.

When we arrived on a friday night we hoped we chose a good spot in Brooklyn. It was crowded and noisey and didn't feel safe. When we got up in the morning all things were different, everybody in the street was kind and greeted each other. But hey, you're in New York!

The restaurants in the neighborhood are great. Go for a meal to Peaches or Saraghina's, go for a delicious slice of pizza to Daddy Green's on Malcolm X and chill out with a glass of wine at Therapy. Definitely more laid back than in Manhattan.

The only thing we would prefer is some carpet of a rug in the backside of their upper apartment. We are both medium sleepers and we woke up every morning when they and their son woke up, who is adorable though.

In the end we had a great stay for a reasonable price!!
