Miriam is a great host, she welcomed us in to her Brooklyn home and gave us lots of useful tips that made our stay comfortable. Everything is nearby , supermarket, sub and citibikestation. And great coffee (gorilla) Why stay in busy Manhattan if you can enjoy a piece of everyday life as a New Yorker and do you morning run in Prospect Park. We ran the NYC marathon and we ' re greatful for the comfy beds and bathrooms. The house fitted the nine of us comfortably. So thumbs up and many thanks to our host.
