Tara was a great host, very accommodating with our late check in and check out and great at communicating with us. The apartment was in a really lovely area of brooklyn, with great cafes, restaurants and stores just around every corner. It's in a quiet leafy avenue and was a 2 minute walk to the subway which was a main station and went just about everywhere. The apartment itself is small, but that's new york! But super cute. Very eclectic and cool. This is Tara's actual home so it really felt welcoming and homely. Everything was as described. The only issue we had was that we were there in summer and there's no air con in the apartment (only a fan) so it was quite warm inside. And there's a fair bit of dust on the shelves etc. which is not great if you have allergies. But apart from that it was great, we'd stay there again!
