Jan Fogel and Peter Jensen were excellent and warm hosts to us. Within 15 minutes after requesting information by e-mail (before booking), Jan responded friendly and completely to a number of questions we had. Upon arrival at the appartment, Jan welcomed us, showed us around in the appartment and told us how to get to Manhattan and recommended a number of restaurants in the area. The room is charming, very clean, with a small kitchen and modern bathroom. Actually, what you see on the photographs is what you get. What we highly appreciated were the fruit, different brands of beer in the fridge, coffee, tea, a cake etc. We immediately felt comfortable.
An entrance to the subway is around the corner and the busstop is close by as well. St. James Place is in a part of Brooklyn with lots of hip restaurants, bars, small shops, green parks etc. The people living in this area were very friendly and helped us to find our way to the appratment. A place to return to for our next visit to New York. Highly recommended.
